Co-op is an opportunity for you to gain work-integrated experiential learning that will help you get a head start on your career. The Ancient Greek & Roman Studies Co-op assists graduating students in achieving a competitive edge while generating experience within a wide range of sectors.
Specifically, paid co-op gives you a chance to obtain 12 months of practical experience on the job, develop or enhance technical skills, explore career options, network with a variety of individuals and organizations, learn from mentors, enhance communication and presentation skills, and develop technical writing skills.
Traditionally there are three co-op work terms of paid employment, each four months long, 35 hours/week, giving students the opportunity to manage well-defined special projects at an organization. With the Ancient Greek & Roman Studies co-op, students are encouraged to combine two work terms back-to-back creating an eight-month opportunity with one employer.
