Put your learning in motion with co-operative education
The practical experience you gain from co-operative education (paid work terms) is an essential element of Gustavson School of Business programs. By the end of your program, you'll have:
- up to one year of work experience
- a network of valuable contacts
- competencies that impress employers
- reflected on your learning and career goals
Our dedicated team supports you throughout your co-op experience and helps you with your career search in the final. Whether you are a student or employer, learn more here. Or say hello in person. We're located on the lower level of the Business and Economics Building.
