CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION PAYS: Earn while you learn in the workforce and validate your career choice.
Since 1982, the experience Sault College co-op students gain during work terms has played a vital role in the development and success of many of our graduates. Co-op students tend to be more successful in securing employment upon graduation. In fact, some are hired by their co-op employers.
PARTNERS IN CAREER DEVELOPMENT & TRAINING:
Students, co-op educators, faculty, and employers are partners in this educational process which integrates classroom study with paid on-the-job work experience. Co-op work terms bridge academic semesters with opportunities to apply knowledge and skills gained through studies. All Co-op work terms are considered formal academic experiences with defined learning objectives, academic direction and evaluation.
GOALS OF CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION:
- Provide opportunities for students to learn and apply job search skills.
- Enable students to develop a network of employer contacts.
- Expose students to the realities of the workplace in their chosen field.
- Provide quality work experience where students can apply their knowledge and skills.
- Assist employers by providing well trained, enthusiastic Co-op students.
