Welcome to Co-operative Education at the University of Northern
British Columbia. UNBC has launched a new Co-op model that will
provide greater flexibility and stronger academic linkages.
Co-op Education combines learning in the classroom with learning
on the job. Students put their academic knowledge into action through
relevant work experience of 4 or 8 month terms. Typical Co-op work
terms are four months in length and the student must end their Co-op
program on an academic term prior to graduating.
Benefits for students:
- Contribute to your education costs with paid employment
- Become more competitive in the job market
- Provides opportunties to build valuable contacts with employers
- Increase employment opportunities upon graduation
