Co-operative education opportunities

What is co-op?

Co-operative education (co-op) is a learning strategy that lets you:

  • enrich your academic studies by drawing on practical, real-world experience from your work terms
  • develop competencies to excel in the workplace

Can you do co-op?

Graduate co-op may be available to students who are pursuing thesis and non-thesis (or professional) degrees.
