Our program features an optional, paid co-op directly related to your program of study.

You will be required to complete work preparation sessions prior to the work term to help you develop an industry-specific resume and effective interviewing skills. Cambrian's Career Centre will support you through this process and will also help you to source and apply for placement opportunities.
