Work Placement
Co-op Option
There are a limited number of spaces for students to mix co-op work experience with their academic learning in alternating semesters. If accepted, the optional co-op program includes an opportunity for students to gain valuable experience through three paid work terms. Co-op work opportunities are not guaranteed, as students are in a competitive job placement market. Students are also encouraged to improve their interpersonal and other soft skills through joining organizations such as the school’s Toastmasters Club. Full-time employers are looking for practical work experience, command of Excel and tax software, and employees who are team players and self-starters.
Students not selected for co-op placements will complete an 84-hour placement where they can put their accounting knowledge and skills into practice. Students find a placement with support from the business placement advisor who maintains a roster of placement opportunities and provides students with direction and assistance in the development of resumés and job search techniques.
Eligible students will incur an additional co-op fee.
