Student Affairs: Required Learning Modules

The Occupational Health & Safety Act (1990) considers students completing unpaid fieldwork placements to be “workers”. Employers have an obligation under the OHSA to provide all workers with required health and safety training. Once students are matched to a placement, they will receive a welcome email from NirvSystem, an electronic onboarding tool. Students registered with Student Affairs will complete e-learning modules within the NirvSystem tool.

If the discipline of the student aligns with a role in which St. Joseph’s hires (i.e. Occupational Therapy Student matched with an Occupational Therapist employee), the student completes the same corporate e-learning that their same-discipline supervisor completes annually.

If students differ from the background of their St. Joseph’s supervisor, (i.e. Health Studies Student matched with a Physiotherapist), the student will receive e-learning that aligns with the specific tasks, activities and location (remote, virtual, on-site) of their student work.

If you would like to see the corporate learning modules per discipline, they can be found here: Preplacement requirements.

If you are a work study student or Lawson Reserach Student looking for the e-learning modules previously on this webpage, you can now find them available here.
