Co-op Programs
About

International co-op programs offer work placements to senior university or college students allowing them to accelerate their knowledge and experience while is school so they are better prepared for work after graduation.
All about the world of work
Securing those jobs
Securing job placements for students is proportional to the quality of students' skills. This is where most of the investment resides for higher education institutions: preparing students so they are ready for work. It is the continuing collaboration with employers that shape the international co-op program.
Talent creation
Universities and colleges are increasingly mandated to create the type of workforce that the economy demands, and doing so before students graduate is an important mission of educational institutions. International co-op programs provide a great venue for the development of talent and job creation but such opportunities need to reach as many students as possible. Without high quality and adequate training, many students are left behind in their search for decent employment after graduation.
The process of securing a job and the knowledge gained from it make this an increasingly important experience for students. It is the quality of the job and everything that this is related to it that define the parameters from which talent is created for new junior staff member. Universities focus on creating the operational structure that enable the creation of such co-op programs but doing so successfully is vital for generations of students who start to build their career lives.
