Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from Lakehead University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students in this program will study the methods, systems and organizations employed in the harvesting of wood, and the planning of harvesting operations. The layout and planning of forest roads, as well as the secondary transportation of wood are also dealt with. Common practices from around the country and the world will be discussed but emphasis will be placed on harvesting in the Boreal and Great Lakes - St. Lawrence forests. The Occupational Health and Safety Act and legislation related to harvesting operations are reviewed. Laboratory assignments will form an integral part of the course and will give first-hand experience with operational planning of harvesting operations.

Students have been hard hit this summer as jobs disappeared and employment opportunities became very scarce due to the COVID-19 crisis. In an effort to help with this, Work-Integrated Learning at Lakehead has partnered with Riipen to connect students with employers that have virtual work opportunities or may consider a virtual placement/project/internship for a student. WIL at LU’s core goal is to ensure that our business students are “work-place ready” upon graduation. Powered by RBC Future Launch, we offer a suite of experiential learning opportunities designed to meet the needs of students, faculty, businesses and the communities we serve. WIL at LU's top business students are available to work virtually on paid projects with partner organizations and paid full-time or part-time internships. Students are available to work in all sectors. Students are carefully selected to ensure that organizations get our very best. Projects can be submitted throughout the year,
