What to Expect from the Work Term / Practicum in Seneca’s Opticianry Program?

In the Seneca Opticianry (OPTC) diploma program, students must complete a mandatory work term / practicum in a formal workplace — often comparable in length to an academic semester. 

During this period, students may work full-time hours, either paid or unpaid. Placement is not guaranteed — securing a position is the student’s responsibility, though Seneca assists by posting opportunities. 

This real-world training helps students apply skills like dispensing eyeglasses, contact lenses, fitting, measurements, and patient interaction under supervision.
