Professional Experience Year Co-op Program (PEY Co-op)
The ECC team runs a work-integrated learning program to connect engineering students with a wide range of industry opportunities. The Professional Experience Year Co-op Program (also known as PEY Co-op) allows students to enhance their technical competencies, strengthen their networks, and build their professional experience before graduation.
Our Space in the Experiential Learning Commons
The ECC is located in the Experiential Learning Commons (ELC), a flagship space on the St. George campus for student-oriented professional development activities and for welcoming our employer partners.
We share the space with two other U of T units focused on work-integrated learning, student career development and employer relations.
By joining together in one physical location, we aim to reduce costs as well as provide a seamless experience for employers recruiting students on the St. George campus.
Office Hours
Open on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Closed on University of Toronto holidays.
