Student and Alumni Success
The students and graduates of the iSchool have enjoyed considerable career success. Between their first and second year of study, many iSchool students take summer jobs with a variety of information organizations, including Library and Archives Canada, the Library of Parliament, the University of Toronto Libraries and other locations. Many of these summer positions are funded by special government programs such as the Federal Student Work Experience Program, Young Canada Works and various provincial programs.
According to the most recent salary survey (2005) on the Faculty's website, the median salary of FIS graduates is approximately $49,000 per year. Of the 104 students who received the MISt degree in 2005, 33 responded to the survey. Given the considerable increase in the Faculty's enrollment (the 2007-2008 academic saw approximately two hundred students start their program that year), it is unclear if this change will affect employment.
