Business Co-operative Education Program
Co-operative education formally integrates a student’s academic studies with relevant work experience. Employers from business, industry and government support and participate in the program. This ‘hands-on’ approach to education extends the learning process beyond the limits of the classroom and into the working world by alternating full-time study terms with full-time paid work terms of career-related practical experience.
