CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION
“… a program that formally integrates
a student’s academic studies with
work experience with participating
employers…”CAFCE (CEWIL)
Co-operative Education
a program which alternates periods of academic study with periods of work experience in appropriate fields … in accordance with the following criteria:
i. each work situation is developed and/or
approved by the co-operative educational
institution as a suitable learning situation;
ii. the co-operative student is engaged in
productive work rather than merely observing;
iii. the co-operative student receives
remuneration for the work performed;
iv. the co-operative student's progress on the job
is monitored by the co-operative educational
institution;
v. the co-operative student's performance on the
job is supervised and evaluated by the
student's co-operative employer;
vi. the time spent in periods of work experience
must be at least thirty per cent of the time
spent in academic study

The Faculty of Engineering Cooperative
Education Program is :
• An education model rather than a job placement strategy
• A three-way partnership between the student, the educational institution, and the employer
• An opportunity for a student to gain an enriched understanding of their academic program through practical work experience
• An advantage over non-co-op programs where students are more likely to gain employment sooner after graduation, have higher salaries, and are more likely to find employment related to their degree (CAFCE (CEWIL))

Tips for Success
1. Be Proactive: Using the co-op resources (MyMUNLife and ASMs-
CE) and your network of contacts to find a job. ASMs-CE assist
and guide students in developing their careers.
2. Be Flexible: Willingness to work in various locations and
industries to discover where your interests lie.
3. Be Open: Being open to different ideas, approaches, and
opportunities (e.g. changes to cover letters and resumes, learning
about a new company/industry outside your current area of
interest).
4. Be Diligent: Ensuring that job applications are well written, and
preparing thoroughly for interviews. Ensuring all documentation is
submitted on time.
Success…
5. Communicate: Speaking to office staff and ASMs-CE during
your job search in order to seek assistance. Speaking with ASMs-
CE regarding any issues/questions you have while at work.
6. Persevere: Working at developing your career by researching
companies, building your network, and applying for jobs. Never
give up!
Always refer to the student handbook!
