George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.
Whether it's a full-time four-month field placement, a two day a week work placement or an in-class industry project, many of our programs incorporate field education into the curriculum.
The chart below provides a quick overview of the various programs in the Faculty of Applied Science, Construction, and Engineering Technology that include a Field Education component:
