Reporting to the Associate Director, Experiential Learning, the Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) Coordinator will build and scale a multidisciplinary WIL stream under our existing Sandbox Program, an innovative program launched in 2023 that is geared towards building challenge-driven WIL opportunities for students across clusters of academic courses. Working closely with the Sandbox Program Manager, this newly created term position will operationalize project-based WIL opportunities for arts and science students with industry partners, building strategic relationships, resources, and infrastructure necessary to deliver sustainable programming in emerging sectors. A key focus of this role will be overseeing industry engagement and actively promoting WIL opportunities to new organizations, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to meet targeted partnership goals.

This includes conducting pedagogical research specific to disciplinary contexts and co-designing learning experiences with faculty and industry partners.
The incumbent will supervise a co-op student, manage multiple concurrent initiatives, lead the implementation of new specialized WIL platforms, and provide hands-on support to both students and industry partners throughout the WIL experience. The incumbent will also be responsible for overseeing regular data tracking and reporting to our funding partner supporting this initiative.
This position offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of WIL in Arts & Science by building meaningful connections between arts and science students and emerging sectors, such as AI and digital technology, while contributing to the expansion and sustainability of WIL programming across the Faculty.
