To add to this, Canadian Universities also have co-op programs.
You don't have to have an engineering degree to get a co-op job. The student gets paid well over minimum wage (and learns on the job) and the employers get financial incentives from the gov't to hire students. Its win-win for both the student and the employer.
- dharness 9y agoSoftware Engineering at Canadian universities does not contain a dramatically different level of vocational training (with the exception of Waterloo). Co-op programs are optional, and take place in the summer or in a gap year. The affiliation of companies hosting co-ops is loose, and the schools charge large fees for participating in these programs (with the exception of Waterloo). Speaking from personal experience, results may vary.
