Do co-op abroad

Working abroad
Taylor Josephy surveyed water infrastructure in rural Zambia as part of his Earth and Ocean Sciences coop term. He enjoyed many nights camping under a starlit sky.

Are you a co-op student? Consider an international work term! You'll experience a new country, gain intercultural skills, earn money while you travel and boost your employability. 

We'll support you with:

  • Connecting with co-op employers abroad
  • A pre-departure course
  • Funding opportunities
  • Guidance with your visa/work permit application
  • 24/7 disaster monitoring and response
  • Check-in visits during the work term and a debrief when you return
The Work Abroad Readiness Checklist will help you ensure that you are prepared to explore working abroad during a co-op work term.
