WSIB Coverage for Students & Work Education Placement Agreements (WEPA)

The Ministry of Training, Colleges & Universities (MTCU) has implemented changes to the Unpaid Placement Guidelines. Students will continue to have their workplace covered by the MTCU during unpaid placements; however the Work Education Placement Agreement Form (WEPA) has been discontinued. In the future, forms for individual students will only be completed in the event of a workplace injury or illness.

A Declaration of Understanding for Unpaid Student WSIB Coverage has been signed with the following educational institutions.

- Georgian College

- Conestoga College

- Cambrian College

- St. Lawrence College

Placements from educational facilities not listed above, must provide proof of WSIB or other insurance coverage for any requested placement.
