UBC School of Information students bring a wide range of skills, talents, and experiences to the workplace. We offer opportunities to recruit current students and graduates.
We have worked with more than 150 organizations in the Lower Mainland, Canada, and beyond to provide hands-on learning experiences for our students.
Types of job opportunities
Our job board connects UBC School of Information students with job opportunities during their studies, including paid and unpaid work, professional experience placements or other project-based work.
