Course Overview
Cooperative Education (Co-op) involves enhancing the educational experience by integrating traditional academic studies with relevant work experience. The student is working at the employer’s work site for the duration of the Co-op Work Term placement period. The Co-op Work Term is a paid position where the student completes productive tasks that relate directly to the core competencies of the Interior Design program. The Co-op position is approved by the Co-op Coordinator in consultation with the Interior Design Program Head. Students in the program attend workshops to enhance their employability prior to their Co-op placement and compete for job postings during the academic term prior to placement. During the work term, students are monitored by BCIT. Credits for the Co-operative Workplace education component are in addition to the required academic credits in the program. Students will receive a notation on their graduating diploma indicating completion of the Co-op component.
