Co-operative education
The John Molson Co-op advantage
The John Molson Co-op programs offer you the unique opportunity to give your career plans a head-start. As a Co-op student, you will be able to apply what you learn in class to three paid work terms. Plus your work terms will allow you to explore different types of jobs in your chosen major and, in the process, develop a better understanding of what interests and motivates you.
Our graduates continuously tell us that they are so much further ahead in their careers than other students as a result of their having been in the John Molson Co-op program. They are more focused on their career choices, they are hired more quickly after graduation and they start at higher salaries, too.
We have Co-ops in:
- Accountancy
- Finance
- Human Resource Management
- International Business
- Business Technology Management
- Marketing
- Supply Chain Operations Management
