University and City of Lethbridge hold showcase of student projects
LETHBRIDGE, AB – The City of Lethbridge and University of Lethbridge held a showcase on April 20, 2023, to highlight work from students in the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 semesters as part of the Prentice Institute for Global Population and Economy.
Since the beginning of the Fall 2022 semester, eight University of Lethbridge students participated in five applied study projects, in collaboration with the emerging Work Integrated Learning (WIL) partnership.
Perry Stein, Partner Services Manager with the city said, “Working with post-secondary students and faculty allows us to access this knowledge, not only to enhance our day-to-day work, but to get a better handle on the talent in the community. We hope that students will gain valuable skills working with us and see us as an employer of choice once they graduate.”
The projects focused on a range of topics and the students worked under the supervision of two city staff members from the Opportunity Lethbridge and Planning and Design departments.
