The Open Doors Project: closing the gaps between students and employers for experiential learning opportunities.

The Open Doors Project identifies workplaces who welcome in students (or provides staff) for experiential learning opportunities like tours, speaking engagements, or placements (ex: co-op, apprenticeships, or internships). Educators – search the Open Doors Opportunity Board for experiential learning opportunities for your students in Windsor-Essex!


Become An Open Doors Workplace!

Open the doors to your future workforce!!

An Open Doors Employer is a company or organization who welcomes in students (or provides staff) for experiential learning opportunities like tours, speaking engagements, or placements (ex: co-op, apprenticeships, or internships). Employers – if you have staff and an atmosphere that will get students excited about your industry, list your experiential learning opportunities today and get your future workforce in the door!

  • A company or organization offering placement opportunities (ex: co-op student, apprenticeship, or internship).
  • A company or organization who is willing to provide tours to student groups looking to learn more about their industry.
  • An individual who wishes to participate in speaking events for students (ex: on a panel events or in an informational interviews).

Employers who wish to offer placements and work integrated learning opportunities for University of Windsor students should contact employer@uwindsor.ca or visit their dedicated webpage.
