The Student Network welcomes and integrates students into the department so they can enjoy a rewarding work experience.

The Student Network is here to:

• Welcome and integrate you into ESDC;
• Support you and answer your questions;
• Inform you of the various student networking opportunities available; and,
• Promote and organize a variety of student activities.

If you need help, go ahead and contact The Student Network or your supervisor/manager.

In the coming days, your supervisor/manager should give you more details about your tasks during your work experience. Use this chance to ask questions and seek support if needed.

• Before you start your employment at ESDC, please make sure that you take the time to review the pre-arrival checklist on the ESDC Onboarding page. It will prepare you for your first day of work.
• Make sure that you have signed and returned all of the required Human Resources (HR) paperwork (your letter of offer, etc.) to your supervisor/manager, HR or both.
• Review the Terms and Conditions of Employment for Students and the Student Rates of Pay.
• Stay in regular contact with your supervisor/manager, especially if there is a long period between the job offer and the start date.
• If you need to go into the office to pick up any information technology (IT) equipment, find out what COVID-19 protocols are in place to access the workplace.

• Set up a daily communication routine with your supervisor/manager. Familiarize yourself with the communication platforms like Outlook and MS Teams.
• Research The Student Network at ESDC and the GC Students Network.
• If you don't have access to the department network and you need help, contact The Student Network or your supervisor/manager.

Once you have access to the department network, your supervisor/manager or a representative from The Student Network will give you more directions for your onboarding.
