Welcome to ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Co-operative Education!
Co-op is a partnership between the employer, ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV, and the student. The Co-op component of a student's degree is integral to their formal education. The nature of the work is aligned with the student's career goals and allows them the opportunity to explore different career options. Students return to ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV to study after a 4, 8, or 12 month Co-op experience.
We have worked with over 16,500 employer contacts since 1975. We have approximately 10,000 students ready to work locally, nationally and internationally and since 2002, ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV students have won the nationwide title "Co-op Student of the Year" four times.
