Full Stack Web Development

Overview

Work Integrated learning (WIL) plays an integral role in Red River College Polytechnic’s strategic plan, and is the final component of the Full Stack Web Development curriculum.

WIL opportunities include co-operative education and industry projects, which provide the students with practical, hands-on experience in their field of study. Through WIL, RRC Polytech students apply their classroom learning to real-world situations, build their professional networks, and develop the skills and knowledge necessary for success in the workplace.
