Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on 4th year Communication and Media students from York University to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based experience. Learners will work on one main project over the experience of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Learners in this program get an edge in today’s media-centric and technologically evolving world. They learn to question, analyze and reflect on a wide range of media systems and communication technologies that influence our lives. In the program, learners will gain sound analytical skills, so that they can apply a critical lens to mass media and communication. The objective of this field placement opportunity is for our students to apply their research and communication/media skills in a formal work setting. The intention is for students to work within the organization and apply their abilities in a general project-oriented or project-specific assignment in the field. Students are expected to work on a placement basis 8 hours per week, for 9 weeks in the fall term (September-December 2023) and 9 weeks in the winter term (January-April 2024). Your organization will identify the type(s) of work activities which are required of the student during their placement, allowing us to evaluate the student under the course guidelines while satisfying the needs, goals, and mission of your organization.

Students in Digital Authoring Practicum are digital storytellers––capable of editing, writing, and composing persuasive digital content.
