The University of Prince Edward Island School of Business Administration has been offering exciting work term opportunities through its co-operative Education Program since 1996. Students have successfully completed work terms with many local employers, as well as employers throughout Canada and internationally, as far afield as Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
Business students may apply to enter the Co-operative Education Program during any year of their academic studies.
Students enter work terms throughout the year, normally rotating every 4-8 months. Students may complete full-time and part time works.

“My experience with the UPEI Co-operative Education Program gave me valuable future employment contacts and the opportunity to ‘test drive’ a career. The on-the-job work experience helped me identify my passion for Human Resources, and the kind of workplace I find fulfilling.”
