Co-operative education and internship work experience

Apply your classroom skills in the workplace and bring your workplace skills back to the classroom! 

Co-operative or internship education is a learner-centred model that empowers you, the student, to direct your own learning and to make a valuable contribution in the workplace. Your learning will be guided and supported by both your employer and the School with a faculty member from your program assigned to coach, monitor, and evaluate your work term development.

To participate in co-operative education you will need to successfully complete

• HMGT 100, HMGT 184, HMGT 186, HMGT 190 with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 (C+)

To participate in the Internship Work Experience you will need to successfully complete all second year HMGT courses along with HMGT 101.

Talk to your Co-op & Internship Coordinator, or login to the Co-op and Career Portal to book a co-op information appointment with an Employment Facilitator to get more information. Connect with your Academic Advisor to plan your program and how co-operative education can fit.
