The Office of the Vice-Principal (Research) has benefitted this year from an extra set of capable hands 카지노 게임 컬렉션 namely those of Leigh Cameron (Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션18).

카지노 게임 컬렉션The team I work with has been very supportive and has taught me so much about the research enterprise here at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Ms. Cameron says.

Her role in the office is a paid position through the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 Internship Program (QUIP). The program provides second- and third-year students with a 12-16 month paid work experience at a partner employer. In this case, the employer is right here on campus.

Kelly Blair-Matuk, Associate Director in the OVPR, explains that their internship position provides students an opportunity to participate in many of the OVPR카지노 게임 컬렉션s core activities, while also furthering their knowledge and skills that will enhance their understanding of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, the job market, and of themselves.  

The internships are beneficial for employers as well, she adds.

카지노 게임 컬렉션A QUIP intern provides us a student perspective on our day-to-day activities that enhances our outcomes and efficiencies, and the youthful energy gives our team a refreshing boost,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Dr. Blair-Matuk says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Moreover, our own strategic research imperatives encourage the involvement of students, and this doesn카지노 게임 컬렉션t only mean having more students in labs. It also means including students on the administrative side of the equation.카지노 게임 컬렉션 

It카지노 게임 컬렉션s not just the OVPR that카지노 게임 컬렉션s benefitting from QUIP Interns. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션This year there are six departments at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s with a QUIP intern on staff. We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from them regarding the initiative, enthusiasm, and ability to learn exhibited by the interns,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Internship Coordinator Kristen Eppel. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We are also thrilled to have several more departments that are in the process of hiring interns for the 2017-18 academic year.카지노 게임 컬렉션

For her part, Ms. Cameron says she became involved in QUIP because she wanted to take the skills she had learned in the classroom and apply them in a workplace setting.

카지노 게임 컬렉션I have been able to take on some of my own projects and improve my communications and interpersonal skills,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션My experiences in this position have also helped me decide what type of career I want to enter after I graduate.카지노 게임 컬렉션
