VIDEO: Get a hands-on competitive workforce advantage with Co-op
Another post as part of our John Molson Graduate Experience series, a multi-part video series released throughout 2021-- featuring many experience-centered, hands-on learning opportunities relevant to our graduate programs and students throughout different disciplines.
John Molson MBA, MSc Finance, Master of Supply Chain Management and MBA in Investment Management students have the option of pursuing a paid Co-op internship term for a period of 12 to 17 weeks. With internships available across Canada and internationally, Co-op gives students the opportunity to build strong, performance-based relationships with employers and gain skills in a new industry or area of interest.
Additionally, Concordia University’s Institute for Co-operative Education offers both full-time and part-time MBA students CEO Shadowing, a 15-week opportunity to work directly with the CEO of a small-to-medium size firm in the greater Montreal area. During this experience, students learn what it takes to be a CEO, how senior-level decisions are made daily, and how these decisions have an impact on the company.
In the short video below, Claude Martel, Director of Concordia’s Institute for Co-operative Education, talks about the different Co-op opportunities, as well as the benefits for students who engage in Co-op during their MBA program.
