Learner goals and capabilities

Through experiential learning, Cannabis Applied Science students from Loyalist College will reinforce program outcomes and apply their knowledge and highly relevant skill set in an industry setting and/or in the Applied Research Centre for Natural Products and Medical Cannabis on an industry project. This experience could be focused on the sciences – extraction, analytical testing, quality control, cultivation, formulation, etc. – or an area which is peripheral to the sciences but would be strengthened by a background in science (marketing, communication, project management, regulations, government, etc.). Students are available for 140 hours of placement from March 28, 2022 to April 22, 2022.

Project Examples

Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.

Project examples that students can complete may include, but are not limited to:

  • Navigating Cannabis Regulations
  • Analytical Testing of Cannabis
  • Cannabis Production and Process Optimization
  • Formulation and Product Development of Cannabis
  • Cultivation and Tissue Culture Science of Cannabis
  • Cannabis Biology
  • Cannabis Chemistry
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

A representative of the company will be able to complete documentation prior to the co-op placement.

A representative of the company will be able to provide feedback at the end of the co-op work term.
