PLACEMENT

The Accounting Work Placement occurs in the final semester of the Business Administration - Accounting diploma program. Students will have the opportunity to gain valuable work experience in the accounting or finance field. Please keep in mind that placement is unpaid. The work placement is a minimum of 140 hours in length. 

SLC helps students with finding a placement, as we collaborate with many of our excellent employers who look forward to taking on our placement students each year. It is a great partnership! If a student would like to seek their own placement, this can be arranged as well, upon approval of the faculty member.

Placement locations are currently generally in the geographic area around Kingston, between approximately Belleville to Brockville.  Placements opportunities are generally available with private businesses, municipal offices, government, and not-for-profit organizations.
