Cooperative Education
The Co-op program is a unique form of education that integrates classroom study with mostly paid, planned and supervised work experience in the public and private sectors. It allows you to choose from a wide range of employment or internship opportunities to supplement and enhance your classroom experiences. You will acquire essential and practical skills while being exposed to the reality of the workplace, increasing your self-confidence and career direction.
Placement assistance is provided for all eligible students. If you are already employed in a career-related position, you may be able to use your job for Co-op credit with the approval of the department. While we can not guarantee placement, we will make every effort to assist you in securing an appropriate job or internship. We will help you with resume writing and also with locating job or internship opportunities.
The duration of employment is for the semester only. Neither you nor the employer is committed beyond the end of the term, although a number of co-op employers do hire their students on a permanent basis.
