Summary
Bill 110, introduced by Liberal MLA Derek Mombourquette in the Nova Scotia Legislature on March 25, 2025, is titled the Work-integrated Learning Programs Act. Its stated purpose is to expand work-integrated learning (WIL) programs, which are educational programs that combine classroom learning with real-world work experience, such as co-ops, internships, and apprenticeships. Work-integrated learning programs benefit students by giving them hands-on experience in their field of study before graduating, and they benefit employers by connecting them with emerging talent. This type of legislation typically aims to increase the number of available placements, encourage more employers to participate, or provide a formal framework for how these programs are structured and supported. However, the full text of the bill as provided does not include the actual legislative content — only the bill's title, introduction date, sponsor, and procedural status. As a result, specific details about how the bill would expand WIL programs, what institutions or employers would be involved, or what obligations would be created cannot be confirmed from the available information.
