About Co-operative Education at SFU

Co-operative Education formally integrates a student's academic studies with related, paid work experience. Students alternate periods of experience in appropriate fields of business, industry, government, social services and the professions with their education.

Since 1975, SFU's Co-op Program has grown to become one of the largest most dynamic and diversified Co-op programs in Canada.

More than 2,000 students participate in the program each year.
Many employers are using the Co-op program as part of a long term recruiting strategy, while others simply enjoy hiring Co-op students because of the fresh ideas and energy they bring to organizations and project teams.

Students are available for four or eight-month work terms in January, May andSeptember. There is little paper work and no fee for posting or hiring through SFU Co-op.
