Co-op programs

Co-operative Education is your link between the classroom and the world of work. Our program helps you put your learning to work by alternating full-time academic terms with full-time, paid work terms. We set you up for success with relevant seminars, courses, coaching and advising.  

Co-op students graduate with the kind of practical experience that today's employers are seeking – a combination of academic and real-world work experience, research knowledge and business acumen.

5 Reasons to Join Concordia's Co-op Program:

1. Jumpstart your career
2. Earn a salary to help finance your education
3. Experience 12 months of relevant work in your field of study
4. Explore different career/work opportunities
5. Take advantage of networking and mentoring opportunities

After you’ve read about Co-op and chosen a program, you’re ready to apply to Co-op.

Not yet a Concordia student? You apply to Co-op at the same time as you submit a general Concordia application. Check off “I want to apply for the co-op option” when you choose your program

Industrial Experience Programs

The Industrial Experience Program is a paid, 12- to 16-week work experience relevant to your program, credited by Concordia University. Unlike the full co-op program, you typically only participate in one work-term during the course of your study. 

Visit the INEX webpage for the application process, details, and restrictions.
