Employer Information: Internship and Work Experience Programs
The Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s co-op and internship programs invite employers from all sectors and industries to inquire about potential participation and student recruitment opportunities. These programs maintain high standards by regularly evaluating and updating processes to ensure the best outcomes for students and employers.

- Provide incoming professionals with a chance to observe day-to-day field operations.
- Contribute to the education and development of the incoming workforce.
- Increase awareness of career opportunities in your field.
- Dispel common myths and misunderstandings about your industry.
We are currently recruiting sites across Alberta to host students.
