The Acadia Co-op Program


You expect the world.  We offer nothing less.  Getting real-world experience in the workplace is important for any soon to be university graduate.  Cong He (Richard) chose Acadia because it has one of the best co-op programs in the country.  He knows that getting work experience before you graduate is crucial to prepare you for today’s competitive workplace.  Co-op enables current students to gain hands-on, paid experience in work terms related to their field of study giving them tangible skills, one year of work experience, contacts in the industry, a solid idea of what they want to do, and job offers...all by the time they graduate!
