“As a veterinary practice owner and full-time instructor in the Veterinary Sciences department at Northern College, I am well aware of the challenges the College faces with securing placements for students which provide them with real life work experiences.
We have really enjoyed hosting placement students at our veterinary practice for over a decade.
There is a sense of community good-will or paying it forward in providing these unique opportunities for students.
Beyond the altruistic motive, we find that the placement gives us an opportunity to have an extended job interview and really get to know the students. This allows us to select those that best fit within our practice for future employment.
We are very proud and fortunate to have hired quality graduates from Northern College’s Veterinary Sciences programs over the years. In fact, we hired a graduate from the very first graduating class of Veterinary Assistants in 2004, Christine Barton, and she is still an amazing member of our team today!”
