Students alternate study terms with paid, monitored work-terms in professional industry, non-profit, private business, and public sector organizations. At NVIT, students enter Co-op at various points in their education depending on program requirements. While the summer semester is the most common time to complete work-terms, students registered in Diploma programs are required to complete work-terms in the fall and/or winter semesters to fulfil their Co-op designation. Co-op work-terms in the fall and winter semester provides students with additional experience they would not normally receive during the summer.
NVIT'S Co-operative Education Program option aims to provide graduates with:
Programs that are eligible for Co-Op:
