- What technical skills and knowledge do you hope to gain? Consider what career-path and industry knowledge you would like to gain. How do you hope to acquire/improve these skills?
- Before commencing your work term, complete the Learning Objectives Form on Symplicity.
You will have the opportunity to discuss your planned goals and objectives with your Co-op coordinator half way through the term during your site visit.
