Co-op Education Overview
Co-op education is a type of Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) educational strategy which integrates classroom learning with on-the-job experience by alternating semesters of academic study with semesters of paid employment. During co-op placements, students will be employed in positions related to their fields of study. Both co-operative education terms are scheduled during the summer.
Co-op education extends the learning process beyond the College and into the world of employment by blending theory and practical work into a partnership between the student, the employer, and the College.
