THE PROGRAM
Wood Products Processing students gain a solid understanding of wood as they explore business and advanced manufacturing operations. Many choose to complement their science degree with a Minor in Commerce. Co-op enables students to build on their academic studies and gain up to 20 months valuable work experience by alternating academic terms with periods of paid employment. Co-op students complete the first two years of their degree and a series of employability skills workshops prior to their first co-op work term. Co-op students can assist you with projects to improve your organizations efficiency and profits. During work terms, co-op students have undertaken a range of projects including: Sales, market research, data analysis, and report writing Feasibility studies and cost-benefit analysis Material flow analysis Writing safety or quality assurance procedures Assisting in re-engineering of production processes Product research and development Tracking sources of losses or down-graded material Our co-op students are available for 4- or 8-month work terms commencing in January, May and September. They are supervised, evaluated and paid by their employer during these work terms.
