Cooperative Education (Co-op)

A program offered by many universities and colleges that allows students to gain practical work experience in their field of study. Students are typically required to meet academic performance standards and complete specific courses before being eligible for co-op placements. Most co-op placements last between four and eight months. Co-op programs are popular in Canada because they offer many benefits to students, including the opportunity to gain work experience, develop professional networks, and earn money to offset the cost of tuition. Co-op programs can also help students clarify their career goals and make more informed decisions about their future career paths
