Employers are educators who encourage the student's professional and personal growth in the realistic setting of the workplace. Often employers participate in the Co-Op program as a means of early training and evaluation potential permanent employees. Co-Op education is a challenging and rewarding way of earning a degree and at the same time provides the necessary work experience to gain and edge in the career market after graduation. Dalhousie University endeavours, but makes no commitment, to find a job for every student. A student is at liberty to arrange his or her own job, which must be approved by the Department in order to qualify as part of the Co-Op program. For further information please contact:
