Is the program open to distance learning student graduates? Yes, we can facilitate phone appointments (for resume and interview prep), and phone/ skype interviews where appropriate.
Is the program open to students that graduated this Fall and next Spring? For this year, we will we accept student applications from graduating undergraduate Faculty of Arts and Science students during the 2018-19 academic year.
Does this program include all university programs including 'direct entry' or just BA / BSc - for instance could Fine Arts or BMus or KINE do this? The program is focused on students in the arts, humanities, social sciences programs and therefore open to students studying Arts, Fine Arts or BMus. Students from other Faculty of Arts and Science disciplines outside of the primary focus (e.g. School of Computing) are encouraged to also apply but will be selected on a case-by-case basis.
Is there a fee to apply? No.
Where do students apply? Postings and details on applying will be available on the Queen's Career Services website.
How do students find out the participating companies? Through Career Services. Please register to receive up-to-date communications regarding the job postings.
Will this show on their transcripts and/or diploma? No.
If I have completed the QUIP program, may I apply for this program? Yes, this is an additional opportunity after graduation.
Is this an apprenticeship program like a trades apprenticeship? This is a learning opportunity, just as trades apprenticeships are, but this is a unique program designed for new university graduates to accelerate their first year employed post-graduation.
