Co-operative Education Programs

Co-operative Education Programs, or co-op programs, are structured partnerships between educational institutions and employers that combine classroom learning with real-world work experience. Students alternate periods of academic study with salaried, professional employment related to their field of study. This setup allows students to apply their academic knowledge in practical settings, develop industry skills, and build professional networks before graduation. Co-op programs enhance employability and provide valuable insights into workplace expectations, making students more prepared for their future careers.
