Co-op and Internship are a form of education that links classroom learning with paid/unpaid, employment experiences. Work placements are related specifically to the academic studies of each student. The work terms provide an opportunity to learn by doing. You’ll apply theory to practice, develop a meaningful view of the working world and cultivate an awareness of yourself as a professional.

Employer evaluations and constructive feedback are provided to Students on each of their work terms. This input gives students the opportunity to understand their strengths and improve in areas that require attention. Although work term placements are not guaranteed, last year, Sheridan was successful in helping upwards of 95% of students find work term placements.

Sheridan Co-op Programs require a minimum of 360 hours to complete a work term.

Sheridan Degree Internship Programs require a minimum of 14 full-time consecutive weeks (30 hrs/week on average) to complete an internship for the applied degree programs. All degree programs have a Mandatory work term component to fulfill graduation requirements.

There are plenty of good reasons to enroll in a Co-op / Internship program at Sheridan. Perhaps the best one is that students who participate in a program get an early start on their careers and get experience that gives them a big advantage after graduation.
