Co-operative Education and Internships

Co-operative Education (Co-op) and internships are structured work experiences that complement academic studies. Co-op programs typically involve students alternating between periods of classroom learning and paid work related to their field, providing real-world experience and skills. Internships are shorter-term, often unpaid or paid, positions, giving students a chance to explore careers, develop professional networks, and apply their knowledge in practical settings. Both models help students gain relevant industry experience, enhance their resumes, and improve their future employment prospects.
