Students work for terms ranging from four months to 12 months for big-name companies, innovative startups, researchers working at the leading edge of discovery and organizations in the public sector.
Co-op is a great way to:
- Learn by doing: You’ll be working on real projects alongside professional engineers.
- Test out your options: You can work for small companies, big companies and everything in between. You can work for companies involved in different areas of your chosen industry. It’s amazing experience to help you learn what you like and don’t like.
- Earn great money: Co-op students are paid well (you can check out the average monthly salaries to see that these aren’t typical summer jobs!). Your income during co-op work terms can help offset the cost of your university tuition and living expenses.
- Build a network: You’ll graduate with an incredible amount of experience, industry connections and a resume that others can only dream of.
