The Co-op Program enables students to adapt skills learned in the classroom to actual work experience. By working in a chosen field for a few semesters, students acquire valuable insights into whether the chosen field is a suitable career path. In addition, students develop confidence, communication skills, and a network of contacts that can greatly enhance their employment opportunities upon graduation. Students also receive competitive wages, which help to pay for tuition and living expenses.
