What is Industrial Experience?
- It is a 12 to 16 weeks work experience relevant to your program
- It is paid
- It is credited by Concordia University
To provide more practical experience, non-Co-op students will have the option of registering for a work term during the summer semester. The Institute for Co-operative Education will make job postings open to you so you can have a technical job over the summer. Work experience at an engineering company looks great on your transcript and your resume.
