Recruit Tomorrow's Talent

Co-operative Education is a partnership between the employer, SFU, and the student. The Co-op component of a student’s degree is integral to their formal education. Students return to SFU to study after a 4, 8, or 12 month Co-op experience.

WATCH: Maxxam Analytics General Manager (BC, Yukon & Manitoba), Rob Gilbert, on how SFU Science & Environment Co-op students come equipped with valuable skills.
