Co-operative Education is a form of learning that involves two locations - one in school and one in the community. These programs enable you to apply what you have learned in school as well as provide an opportunity for you to increase your knowledge and skills. There are many benefits. Not only do you develop marketable skills to help you proceed into a career, but you are also exposed to up-to-date information and technology in the Canadian workplace.

You will learn more about yourself and the expectations of the world of work. You will be able to develop a career plan based on realistic, practical information and be better equipped to make a smooth transition from high school to work or to post secondary education.

Experience, letters and reference, performance reviews and recommendation become valuable tools for future job search activities.
