“The PEY program allows you to see what it's like to work in the industry full-time and how the concepts you learn in school are applied to solve real-world challenges. It has also allowed me to forge strong connections with industry professionals and build marketable skills I would never learn in a classroom."

"My PEY has helped me learn and strengthen many of the soft skills and industry-specific tools that I leverage to complement my technical knowledge. This has allowed me to really solidify my understanding of the field and feel more well-rounded in my performance."

Elyas Hannoufa (Year 3, MSE)
Polymer Science & Sustainability Intern, Husky Technologies
“During my PEY at Ontario Power Generation, I had the opportunity to explore an industry that is both unique to Ontario and one I never thought I’d enjoy as much as I have. Beyond the technical skills I gained, what stood out most was how much the people I worked with shaped my experience and showed me the value of a fun, supportive work environment.”

Ashlyn Abdelmaseeh (Year 4, MechE)
Plant Design (Mechanical) Intern, Ontario Power Generation
"My PEY experience gave me valuable exposure to industry standards and best practices, which I had not seen before, helping me build confidence in my ability to contribute effectively as a full-time member. Because I was there for a year, I was able to work on and even spearhead long-term projects with a meaningful impact.”
