Co-op Training Program

Rationale

The Co-op program serves a bridge between the intensely learning university experience and the practical, results-oriented, highly competitive professional world. The program is designed to give the student an opportunity to test and apply knowledge, skills and competences acquired in the classrooms and labs and to develop a clear perspective about the expectations of the real world and a sharper focus on career choices. It offers an opportunity for employers and educators to collaborate in mentoring prospective workforce to becoming productive and responsible citizens. The hope is that the student after completing the Co-op experience will develop a clear purpose, become more engaged during the last year of studies, and form a pragmatic perspective about their role in a changing world.

While the Co-op work experience mutually benefits the student, the university and the employer, it will help the student in:

Clarifying career goals;
Understanding of the workplace demands and constraints;
Pursuing continuous learning and self-improvement undertakings;
Cultivating self-reliance and self-confidence;
Refining time management, interpersonal and communication skills;
Building contacts with potential employers;
Acquiring marketable skills that improve employability prospects;
Experiencing practical aspects of the field of study.
