Note to employers:

Whether you have already hired a student to begin a work term, or are in the midst of the recruitment process, you are welcome to decide how you would like to proceed. Students are able to apply and interview (remotely) and have been advised that start dates may be delayed. Remote work is encouraged, and feedback from the previous work terms shows that students have adapted well to this work style.

I am concerned about lockdowns.

On April 22 and 23, 2021, Management Career Services communicated to all employers that had hired for the Summer 2021 work term period from a program we serve. We are seeking clarity on how students are working (100% work from home, hybrid or 100% in person) and we were clear that student safety and respecting all public health measures are our top concern. If you have concerns about your work term, please contact your assigned Career and Recruitment Specialist or Corporate Residency Manager. If you are unclear of your assigned MCS advisor, direct your email to mcs@dal.ca

I am concerned about travel to Nova Scotia for my work term.

On April 26, 2021, Management Career Services communicated to all students who are employed for the Summer 2021 work term. If you have secured a work term in Nova Scotia and have yet to arrive in Nova Scotia, and your employer requires you to be located in Nova Scotia, please follow the instructions in the email for documentation to provide at a border checkpoint to minimize the chance of being turned away. If you have questions, please contact your assigned Career and Recruitment Specialist or Corporate Residency Manager.
