How much will it cost?
Wages for Co-op students are one of the best deals going. Typical wages range from $12 to $20 per hour for third year students. Summer wage subsidies are often available. We do everything on a handshake -so you don't have tons of paperwork to handle. The only paperwork is a written evaluation at the end of the work term.
What are co-op students like?
Our students come from all walks of life. Some are mature with a wealth of transferable skills. Others are straight from high school, and while they're young, they have the energy and enthusiasm of youth. The BBA Co-op student is not your average student. Because of Kwantlen University College's small class sizes, our students are not afraid to ask questions to get the job done quickly and efficiently. They have also gone through an extensive selection process to qualify for the Co-op program. The program entry requirements call for a higher grade-point average and when Co-op time rolls around, job readiness is expected of them. As an added bonus, some students are multilingual.
