About CO-OP

Students begin their 1st work term after completing 2 years of study. This ensures you receive a well-trained and productive employee. Work terms alternate with 4 month study terms. The CO-OP program is optional, and students are admitted according to academic achievement. They are closely monitored throughout the academic and work terms, thereby ensuring our employers benefit from the best quality students.
