Summer Experiential Program

Founded by the UTSPA Community, the concept for SEP was intended to be similar to an internship program, aiming to give UTS students exposure / experience to various industry sectors through real-world working environments. SEP hosts have the opportunity to allow UTS student(s) to immerse into their everyday working life and let them explore the nature of your fields so that they can have a better understanding on what their career could look like in their interested industries and help identify post secondary interests

SEP hosts can be UTS parents and UTS alumni. Many parents and alumni have provided SEP placement opportunities to UTS students since 2017. A big THANK YOU to UTS parents and alumni who supported SEP in the past and we are inviting all parents and alumni who can host our students to join the upcoming 2024 SEP. UTS students’ Summer Experience Program needs your help to continue its success!

The commitment is the time and format that works for you, the SEP Host. It can be an hour or a day (or multiple hours or days). The format can be virtual or in person. SEP is flexible to help drive participation from both the hosts and students.

The window for SEP experience is during the month of July 2024. 

There is flexibility on group size. From one student to a group of students, you can indicate how many students you’d like to host when you sign up.

Job Shadowing, Tours, Career Outlook Seminar, Administrative Assistance, Research Assistance, Coding, Financial Modelling, Coordinating and various project-based office activities, etc. In short, any workplace activities which can benefit students’ decisions on choosing their career path would be welcome.

Banking, Law, Medical Science, Pharmaceutical, Investments, Finance, Marketing, Media, Computer Technology, Chemical Science, Non-Profit Social Works and Education, etc.

Most of the SEP students are from M4 to S6 (Grades 10 to 12.) Students range from 15 to 17 years of age.

For this year’s SEP, both formats are available for hosts. You can indicate your preference when you sign up.
