Co-operative Education is a method of learning in which students alternate formal academic studies with paid work terms.
For students, Co-op is a chance to apply knowledge, develop skills and gain confidence, while impressing employers as a potential hire.
For employers, hiring a Co-op student can solve short-term resource challenges, build capacity for new ventures, and bring fresh
ideas to your workplace. It is an opportunity to help develop
future leaders and show that you value higher education.
"The skills I gained through the co-op program- how to prepare the best professional resume, how to present myself as a professional, how to network with potential employers and how to conduct myself in an interview - along with work experience has allowed me to transition from a University student to a working professional. I would recommend it to anyone looking to gain the most from their time spent at SMU." Genevieve Boivin |
