Co-op & Work Experience

Mar 4, 2014
Get a head start on your career
 
Co-operative (co-op) education, work placement and internship programs offered by the University of New Brunswick (UNB) are designed to provide students with invaluable on-the-job experience.
 
UNB's employment experience programs can give you an opportunity to apply the knowledge you've gained, and the skills you've developed through your university education, to the workplace – many times while getting paid!
 
Some career development programs provide academic credits towards your degree.
 
A co-op, work placement or internship program at UNB gives you an edge in launching your career with real experience to put on your resume.

 
How it works

Co-op students alternate between academic studies and paid work placements related to their areas of interest.
 
Some internships are paid while others provide academic credits towards a degree. Others, such as the Renaissance College leadership program, offer a chance to travel and work internationally.
 
Many UNB programs such as Nursing, Kinesiology and Education include work placements as part of their degree requirements.
