Combining your academic courses with Co-op work experience has many advantages including the opportunity to earn while you learn. Co-op work placements start in the third year of your program. That gives you a chance to prepare for your placements by taking a series of job readiness workshops during the first two years. It also lets you develop the academic background that you need in order to apply concepts and theories from the classroom to your Co-op work experiences. The benefits to you are immeasurable, particularly when it comes to getting an early start in your career.
Limited enrolment means that admission is competitive.
Being accepted into a Co-op program means that you are one of the best. You must have a minimum high school average of 80 per cent or greater to apply. You must also meet the admission requirements for the program you are interested in taking. Complete the application form and return it, along with your resume, to the Co-op office. For some programs, you will be contacted for a personal interview.
