PLAN 411

Students gain applied work experience at a company or organization undertaking planning or planning-related work for a minimum of 420 hours of paid employment over 3-12 months, after having reached third or fourth year standing in the Regional and Urban Planning major. Students are responsible for securing their own placement, though it must be approved by the course coordinator as suitable planning or planning-related work for enrolment in PLAN 411.0. Typically, work placements are full-time during the Spring/Summer (May-August), during the months when students are not enrolled full-time in course-work on campus. However, flexibility is applied in order to allow for part-time work over a longer duration. The Planning Work Placement gives students the opportunity to learn about professional, intellectual, organizational, and other practical issues that occur in a planning or planning-related work environment under the supervision of a suitable employer.
