From NSCC to the MSVU Master of Public Relations Internship Program, Sydney Davidson’s journey has been shaped by curiosity, growth, and a drive to keep moving forward.

Sydney’s post-secondary experience has been a journey of self-discovery—exploring her interests, building her skills, and continually seeking opportunities to learn and grow. Each step has helped her build a stronger foundation for the career she wants to pursue.

Now, as part of the Master of Public Relations Internship Program, Sydney is putting her learning into action through an internship with Build Nova Scotia.

Follow Sydney’s journey as she reflects on the experiences that brought her here and prepares to take her next step into the professional world, here: https://www.msvu.ca/academics/co-operative-education-at-the-mount/inspiring-stories/from-classroom-to-career-mpr-internship-program-gives-sydney-davidson-a-head-start-in-communications/

The fall semester starts today, and you can feel a new chill in the air! Summer heatwaves are a thing of the past. Though the weather around here changes frequently, there is always one constant on campus: the crows! They are always here to welcome you back to campus 😊

To our co-op and WIL Students returning to campus this semester, we’d like to give you a warm welcome back. To our students starting their fall work terms, we wish you all the best in your new positions. 🐦‍⬛

Last week, the Co-op & WIL team had the wonderful opportunity of attending the Blueprint for Talent: Work-Integrated Learning Lunch hosted by the Association of Atlantic Universities and the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce. At this event, Mark Patterson, keynote speaker and founder of Magnet, delivered an inspiring talk about the future of AI in the workplace, what that means for us and our students, and how to best prepare our students for the incoming changes. Afterwards, we got to listen to a wonderful panel of individuals that gave us insights into the employer, student, academic, and corporate perspectives of how work-integrated has impacted them in the present and what they expect for the future.

It was inspiring to learn more about the positive effects of WIL and how our team can better prepare students for the workforce.

From May 19-22, our Co-op & WIL Coordinator, Courtney Green, and Manager, Scott Daniels, attended the CEWIL CANADA 2026 Conference: Pathways to Partnerships to explore new pathways and chart bold new directions for the future of work-integrated learning (WIL).

During the conference, Courtney and Scott expanded their knowledge on emerging trends in work-integrated learning, including the growing impact of artificial intelligence (AI) across industries. They explored innovative approaches to preparing students for an evolving world of work and connected with WIL practitioners from across Canada to exchange ideas, learn about best practices, and gain insight into how institutions are adapting their programs to meet changing workforce needs.

Courtney and Scott are excited to bring these new ideas and insights back to the MSVU Co-op & WIL Centre to continue enhancing our programs and supporting student success.

If you will not be in the Halifax area during this summer break, please email [email protected] so we can arrange an online interview if you are selected for an in-person interview.
