Co-operative education is a three-way partnership between the university, students and employers. Students apply their classroom knowledge in a series of four-month work experiences. You, the employer, enhance a student鈥檚 education, while reaping the unique benefits of co-op employees.
Only top students gain admission to the University of Ottawa co-op programs. In general, students begin their first work term after completing at least two years of studies, so they come to you well-prepared and ready to produce. Work terms generally last at least 15 weeks and alternate with four-month academic sessions.
Co-op is an optional program, and students are admitted based on academic achievement. They are monitored throughout their academic sessions and work terms, ensuring you get the best possible performance.
University of Ottawa programs offered with a co-op option have met all required standards and conditions and, as such, are accredited by the (CEWIL Canada).
