SEE U of T

The Support, Engage and Experience U of T Program (SEE U of T) is a collaboration between the University of Toronto and the Toronto District School Board. This two-year access program at Woodsworth College empowers racialized and historically under-represented secondary school students to gain university experience by immersing themselves in experiential and academic learning on campus. In year one, Grade 11 students from local secondary schools participate in student life activities while completing a co-op placement at the St. George campus, and in year two, during their Grade 12 year, the same cohort of students obtain post-secondary credit by completing a first year course at the Faculty of Arts & Science. Each student who successfully completes the program will earn two OSSD credits in Grade 11 and two OSSD Grade 12 and 0.5 University of Toronto credits.  

Check out Digital Storytelling at SEE U of T - a weekly blog authored by SEE U of T co-op student Julian Anstett! Julian completed his co-op placement at the Woodsworth College Office of the Registrar. Follow Julian's blog to learn about the students in SEE U of T's 2025 cohort, their growth and development in the program and the weekly activities they're engaging in across the St. George campus.

Are you a U of T staff member or department interested in hosting a SEE U of T student for a co-op placement from February to June 2026?

We need your help to provide opportunities for students to “SEE” themselves in post-secondary spaces by offering meaningful co-op experiences.

As a co-op supervisor, you’ll give students a glimpse into university life while they gain valuable workplace skills — and it’s easier than you think!

Any U of T staff, faculty member, or librarian at our St.George campus can be a supervisor!
