Work-Integrated Learning  
Students have the opportunity to apply for a co-operative education placement of which there are a limited number of spaces. Students combine this placement with their academic learning in alternating semesters, and there are two placements between academic terms. Participation in the co-operative education placements may increase time to complete the diploma by two semesters. The placement provides students with an opportunity to gain valuable experience. Co-operative education opportunities are not guaranteed, as the job placement opportunities are competitive. Applications to the optional co-operative education program are accepted only from students in Semester 2.

Students not selected for co-operative education placements will complete the standard 84-hour field experience course in their final semester. Through this course, they will put their accounting knowledge and skills into practice. Students find a placement with support from the business placement advisor who maintains a roster of placement opportunities and provides students with direction and assistance in the development of resumés and job search techniques.
