Students and employers have received quality and personalized service from the Mount Co-op Team since 1979. Our Team is committed to supporting students, employers and alumnae in their employment efforts!  Quality is key.  All of our co-op programs meet the national standards set out by the Canadian Association for Co-operative Education (CAFCE).  Business Administration, Public Relations and Tourism and Hospitality Management students will attest to this fact.

In 2010, the Co-op Office conducted our first Recent Co-op Grad Survey and collected some extremely positive results as well as very valuable feedback. In May 2011, we surveyed a new cohort of recent grads: the spring 2010 graduates from the business, public relations, tourism and information technology co-op programs. Again, we are thrilled to share these encouraging results with you.

Here's what our grads had to say:

90% of the co-op grads secured employment in their field of study within 6 months of graduation
90% of co-op grads said co-op was effective in helping secure full-time employment after graduation
1 in 2 co-op grads made a starting salary of more than $40,000/year
Recent co-op grads are employed in all employment sectors - government, private & not-for-profit
100% of grads felt prepared for the workforce after completing co-op

"The Mount Co-op program has prepared me for a career in public relations like no course ever could. Taking what I learned during class time and transferring it into the real world has allowed me to secure a job sooner as my employer knows I have the right skills to succeed."

~Ashley Coffin, BPR Class of 2010
