The Career Development Internship (CDI) credit provides students with the opportunity to earn up to 2.0 high school credit(s) for an unpaid internship. The CDI credit option is intended to recognize and encourage the skills development and experience students acquire through internships.
Internship placements can be in any career field, as long as there is an employer willing to host a student.
WCB coverage is provided by Manitoba Education so the placement must be in Manitoba.
Because students can gain valuable skills development and experience through on-the-job work experience, the Credit for Employment (CFE) credit is available to provide students with the opportunity to earn up to 2.0 high school credits for paid employment. CFE can enrich students’ understanding of the relevance of education and the importance of developing career readiness.
