Co-operative education at the University of Waterloo was built in from the very beginning. That strong foundation has allowed us to not only build the program we have today with more than 25,000 students and 7,500 employers, but build opportunities beyond co-op for our students. They learn how to navigate the hiring process, applying their skills to real-life problems and learning about themselves along the way, ultimately preparing them for the future of work.
Hear Dr. Norah McRae talk about how it all started, where we are today and the path forward.

Episode 1 - Dr. Norah McRae - University of Waterloo Co-op, then and now

At Waterloo, co-op students alternate study terms with work terms and graduate with up to two years of relevant, paid work experience. This means two years of experience learning how to navigate the hiring process, applying your skills to real-life problems and learning about yourself along the way.
