Co-op Program

The co-operative education program bridges the gap between academic theory and relevant work experience to prepare students to stand out in a competitive job market. Enrich your educational experience and gain real-world work experience in a variety of sectors and industries.

Co-op students are monitored and counselled throughout their academic and employment terms to ensure that employers receive high quality work and that students will gain meaningful employment that will augment their academics.

By alternating between academic terms and work terms, co-op students have the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience in their chosen field of study, earn an income to offset the cost of education, build a network of contacts for future employment and enhance their overall academic experience.
