PEY Co-op is not your ordinary co-op program
PEY Co-op students explore industries of interest and hone their professional and job-search skills in their first and second years of study.
Then, instead of alternating between work terms and school, students put their skills and knowledge into practice by working full time for 12 to 16 consecutive months after third year. Coupled with an optional 12-to-16-week summer co-op work term after second year, students graduate with up to 20 months of professional, paid work experience.
More importantly, they leave U of T Engineering with the skills, experience and confidence to succeed in their careers after graduation.
