City Scholars (City of Lethbridge)
Connecting Students with Community Impact
Work-Integrated Learning with the City of Lethbridge
What is City Scholars?
City Scholars creates a unique opportunity for collaboration through Work-Integrated Learning (WIL). City projects provide students with hands-on workplace experience, structured around both professional and academic outcomes. Students can participate in projects with the City through:
- Applied Studies
- Co-op
- Courses
- Projects
- Internships
Applied Studies provide opportunities for students to take on short-term research projects. Students receive both professional and academic work plans, as well as supervision by a City project lead and faculty member. Typical outcomes include research papers, policy briefs, and presentations.
Why Participate?
- Develop workplace skills and apply academic knowledge
- Access professional and academic mentorship
- Network with prospective employers
- Learn about municipal governance and business practices
