Co-op at the University of Windsor is a partnership between students, employers and the University.
The Co-operative Education Program will work with students to help them develop their job search skills, find appropriate placements and define career goals. Employers will provide students with challenging work experiences that develop their transferable job skills. Faculty members will evaluate student work and help integrate experience from the workplace into the classroom.
Our programs provide a diverse range of opportunities yet are structured to offer students individual attention. We are proud to offer placement opportunities far beyond Windsor and Essex County. 英雄联盟竞猜平台直播 who are interested may seek a placement anywhere in Canada as well as many other countries around the globe.
