Are SPES placements limited to certain fields or courses?

• A. Yes; only trades.
• B. No; SPES is available to students across various fields as long as eligibility is met and placements are appropriate.
• C. Yes; only STEM fields.
• D. Yes; only humanities.

Answer: (B)

SPES placements are about giving students real work experience through employer partnerships, and they aren’t restricted to one specific field. The program allows students from many different disciplines to participate as long as they meet eligibility requirements and the placement is appropriate for their learning plan. This means someone studying a trades program, a STEM field, humanities, or any other area can find a suitable placement if there’s an available opportunity and it aligns with safety, training, and the student’s goals. The emphasis is on matching the job to the student’s status and learning objectives rather than limiting placements to a narrow set of fields.
