Work Experience

We provide quality work experience placements for around 50 high school students each year as part of their graduation requirements.

Students learn the importance of coming to work, how to be part of a team, inventory management, and how to refurbish computer equipment. Some of the equipment they work on might just be computers that are shipped to their school – talk about bragging rights!

Students are paired up with a technician to be mentored and then given the opportunity to work more independently. A supervisor is always on-site to ensure technical questions can be answered, workflow progresses, and that the health and safety of all workers are looked after.

If you are in high school and interested in this program, please ask your school's work experience advisor.

Skills students may learn include:

  • Basic computer knowledge - Learn how to tell the difference between different types of computers and workstations, and more;

  • Basic computer refurbishment - Learn how to install hard drives and RAM, test computers, deploy operating systems, and clean computers;

  • Inventory management - Learn how to process donations, computer e-waste, palletize computers, and properly barcode devices.
