Prepare for the work term (pre-requisite courses)

Career Development-Workplace Preparation Skills (CDEV-WPS) is a mandatory course for all students prior to securing a co-op or internship and for all technology students as a graduation requirement.

For the Hospitality Management Diploma, students are required to take Hospitality Career Skills (HMGT 100); and Hospitality and Tourism Career Development (TMGT 100) is required for the Applied Tourism & Hospitality Management Post-Degree Diploma. Both HMGT 100 and TMGT 100 are offered through the School of Business and are a mandatory component of these programs.

Plan carefully to ensure completion of CDEV-WPS at least one semester before commencing your first work term.
