Pick the diploma that matches your interests and take part in an extensive training programme. Upon completion of the course, you’ll receive an official diploma from Greystone College. This is your opportunity to improve your English knowledge, both in an academic and work setting, while building career-focused skills. With this international experience in a Canadian company, you’ll develop essential soft skills for the workplace, which will make you more employable – a real asset on your résumé!

The Work and Study programmes are divided into two parts:
 

• Academic studies

Alongside specific courses related to your chosen field of activity, all programmes include a 4-week work placement skills course supervised by industry professionals. The course prepares students to apply for an internship and work in a Canadian company. Upon completion of the internship, all students will take a 2-week post-internship follow-up course, which concludes the programme.
 

• Work placement

Greystone College has its own job board to ensure every student has the resources to find an internship relevant to their programme and adapted to their professional and language skills. The salary and schedule are determined by the employer and include an average of 21 hours of work weekly (and up to 27 hours per week for the Diplomas in Hospitality). Work placement hours cannot exceed study hours. The content of the internship depends on the employer’s needs and student’s skills.
