Practicum and Cooperative Education Opportunities
Finding a job in your specialization involves a critical self assessment of your interests, a willingness to explore new opportunities and learn new things, and apply skills outside your comfort zone. These are the first steps to your future career path.
Both the practicum and cooperative education options give you the chance to explore great learning opportunities; apply current best practices in your field of study; attempt challenging and interesting assignments to broaden your horizons; and experience ample networking opportunities with professionals working in your field of interest.
