COOP-4003IT Operations Co-op
Co-operative Education (Co-op) integrates related on-the-job experience with classroom theory by incorporating a term of paid employment in the final term of the program. The employer, the student and the College form a partnership to extend the learning process beyond the College into the professional business world and students are given the opportunity to practice and apply the skills gained during the academic semesters of their program as productive full-time employees. It is a proven training system where everyone shares in the benefits. A limited number of Co-op positions are assigned through a competitive process each term. A Co-op tuition fee is charged to all students registered in a Co-op work term to cover work placement development, pre-employment instruction, and employment-related monitoring. Student performance will be monitored and evaluated by both the department and the employer.
