Step 5 - During the term

A work term will give you a deeper, richer educational experience, real-world work experience, career connections and employment income during work terms.

During your work term

Your co-op experience is an opportunity to exercise your knowledge and skills and to prove to yourself and your employer(s) that you are a capable and motivated employee. This is your opportunity to demonstrate your skills, knowledge, initiative, attitude, and willingness to seek out and benefit from opportunities to learn from your co-workers and supervisors.

You are also an ambassador for Camosun and for the students who follow you. The best advertising for co-operative education at Camosun is a satisfied employer who wants to hire a co-op student just like his/her last.
