To Work or Not to Work

Attending university is an unforgettable experience. Although your main focus will be classes, this can be a time to grow in responsibility and initiative through an internship or campus job. These opportunities provide a way to gain experience, learn new skills, prepare for your future and even earn money along the way!

At Tyndale University College, there are a variety of opportunities to experience the working world and discover where you fit in.
