The first step to prepare yourself for a successful Co-op or Internship experience is to make a plan for your work term. 

Plan your work term

If co-operative education is mandatory for your program, you'll normally receive information about co-op options during your first week of class. A program orientation will be held prior to the start of your first academic term.

If co-operative education is optional for your program, a co-op information session will be held during the term prior to the workplace education preparation seminar. At this meeting, we'll cover frequently asked questions about co-operative education and options for your program.

Talk to your Program Chair, Co-op & Internship Coordinator, or login to the to book a Co-op/Internship Information Appointment with an Employment Facilitator to get more information. Together you determine what timeline is most appropriate for you to take the mandatory Career Development-Workplace Preparation Skills (CDEV-WPS) course before your first work term. For the Hospitality Management Diploma, students are required to take Hospitality Career Skills (HMGT 100); and Hospitality and Tourism Career Development (TMGT 100) is required for the Applied Tourism & Hospitality Management Post-Degree Diploma.
