Insurance Coverage

Policies are in place between the Ministry of Education and Training and the Workplace Safety Insurance Board to provide insurance coverage to all learners on unpaid practicum with an Employer who is covered under the Workers’ Compensation Act, at no cost to the agency. The Ministry of Education and training also provides accident insurance coverage under a private policy, to learners on unpaid practicum with employers not covered by the Workers’ Compensation Act.

Each student has electronically signed a Field Placement Agreement form acknowledging their understanding and agreement with the Ministry of Education insurance coverage while they are on unpaid practicum. This agreement is kept at the College (see Appendices for more information and example forms).
