Co-op

Co-operative education (co-op) is a unique opportunity to expand learning beyond the classroom. Adding co-operative education to your Kinesiology degree can be a life changing decision. You will have the opportunity to explore where your degree might take you after graduation, develop technical and work-related skills, and gain relevant paid work experience. Support and guidance through the co-op process is provided by both a Co-op Coordinator and Co-op Kinesiology Faculty Advisor.

Testimonial

A man standing by a sign, smiling at the camera

"I worked at Radovich Chiropractic, in Windsor, ON, as a chiropractic assistant. My favourite part of this placement was the autonomy I was given. I was required to be aware of each and every patient's injury/problem and treat it using my own judgment. This allows the co-op students to be a large contribution towards the care of patients. My experience in co-op has increased my confidence towards operating my own chiropractic practice in the future."
