Co-op Work Terms

University and college students enrolled in co-op programs work in a number of areas throughout the Ministry of Environment.

Co-op students work on a short term basis (4 to 8 months) on project work. Co-operative education programs allow students to alternate academic terms on campus with relevant, paid, full-time work experience.

The Ministry usually hires about 20 to 30 co-op students every four months. This is a great way to get a start with the Ministry of Environment. In the past year, 17.6% of our co-op students were hired in a permanent position with the Ministry upon or close to graduation.

For more information contact your institution's co-op education office, or visit the Association for Co-operative Education in British Columbia/Yukon website at: http://www.co-op.bc.ca/.
