Student Testimonials
"As a criminology student trying to figure out my future career path, I decided to look at my options before I graduate and try Co-op. I was able to go out of my comfort zone and gain experience in a wide-range of jobs related to my field. I am thankful to the Co-op coordinators for providing quality support and helping me achieve my goal of working for a federal government agency."
- Matthew M., Criminology Major, Psych Minor. Three Co-op terms in not-for-profit sector and federal government
"I have no idea where I would be career-wise if I hadn’t joined Co-op. I learned how to manage remote teams, presented to senior-level executives, and even filed a provisional patent. Co-op also helped me realize that I love the fast pace and competitive nature of the private sector. This was advantageous because I had an idea of what I liked and didn’t like in a career and could leverage this knowledge instead of going blindly into a job with false expectations after graduating."
- Dorothy N., Political Science Major and Certificate in Innovation & Entrepreneurship, SFU alumni 2018. Three Co-op terms in high-tech and banking
