What is Co-op?
"Co-operative education," a form of work-integrated learning, is a model of education that integrates and alternates a student’s academic learning with workplace learning in fields relevant to the student’s academic and personal goals. The Co-op Office approves jobs that will provide students with the opportunity to learn while performing productive work. Employers supervise their students and evaluate their performance, and co-op co-ordinators monitor students’ progress on the job. Students are paid by their employers.
Employer Testimonials
"Our corporate office structure at Staples aligns quite nicely with four of the main pillars that Laurier business students can concentrate in: marketing, human resources, supply chain and finance. We have had tremendous success in hiring and developing co-ops and new graduates from Laurier; the students are capable, motivated and eager to take on real challenges and accountability. The quality of education that students receive at Laurier sets them up for success; as a matter of fact, our VP of Finance and VP of Merchandising are among the Laurier grads who progressed at Staples."
