Students who participate in Co-operative Education (Co-op) benefit from the opportunity to "earn while they learn". The program alternates practical, career-related, paid work terms with semesters in class, giving students 12-16 months of supervised work experience by the time they graduate. To find out what it is like to be a student in the co-op program we spoke with Connor Ferrie, who is in his second Co-op work term. He is originally from Coronach, SK and is currently enrolled in the third year of his Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in Political Science.
