The Economics Co-operative Education Option has a successful track record of placing students into competitive internships.

Our strong reputation and established networks with employers have enabled students to secure positions with provincial and federal government agencies, financial institutions, research organizations, leading private-sector firms, and the not-for-profit sector.

These placements provide valuable experience, enhance career readiness, and can lead to full-time employment opportunities after graduation.
