Need to apply externally. There are career fairs but those are only for networking. For coop, almost everyone gets placed.

Internship:

I did my Co-Op at Simon Fraser University.

Placement:

They are good. It has a co-op program which is very helpful to students. Students got placed for the summer term. Median salary ranges a lot from 20$/ hr to 40$ /hr.

Internship:

Co-op yes Currently interning at royal bank of Canada in Toronto.

Placement:

I'm not quite sure about this one, but most of the people I've talked to mentioned that the placement rate is high and it's a renowned university, if you working hard enough you will land into a good workplace.

It's been different from how we learn in India, there are research papers to read and that's where you absorb all your learning from. You may take a week or two to get used to it, but it's quite helpful. Just make sure you read smart or it'll take up a lot of your time. It's one of the best universities! Staff is ever helpful and looking forward to give you the support and nudge required at any point of time.

Placement:

Average pay after graduating was $17/hour, I was able to get a raise to $19/hour at which point I was wondering why I completed my degree. If I didn't complete my degree I could have been earning more at the time of my graduation.

I wanted to stay in the lower mainland. Enrollment included a fee, questions to be answered in paragraph form about why I want to be a student at SFU, as well as grades entered from grade 10-12. I prepared myself online. I did not enjoy my experience overall, the campus was very cold, dark, not inviting. The students were extremely competitive as it was a pre med school major so making friends was very difficult. The faculty treated everyone like a number aside from their favorites, the courses were very difficult and detail orientated.

Placement:

We are having a 3 months of interniship in the summer term. During that we got exposed to the number of opportunities and that will guide you for the full time position.

Internship:

I am going to attend my practicum from May month. So I would share this later.

Placement:

Unlike India, here the job placement process is all done by the individual student. You are responsible for your own destiny so students need to take charge of finding any opportunity to taking care of job interviews to taking care of any co-op opportunities.

Internship:

Data Scientist - 3K per month - Scotiabankl

Placement:

Students have been successful in their placement opportunities. Many alumni have been placed at firms like the Big 4, Google, Amazon, etc. I find that co-op plays a big role in the job you secure in the future and I would definitely recommend doing co-op. Co-op allows you to build relevant industry experience while studying and most students are rehired after graduating from the institution they did a co-op with. I have also seen many students, who do not take part in extracurricular activities or part-time jobs, struggle to secure a job after graduation. Thus, I would say it all depends on you and the effort you put in.

Internship:

I am currently applying for co-oo jobs!

Internship:

We have a co-op program. I did two terms of co-op (the first term at a health training and consulting business and the second in the federal public service), my second term is a much more positive experience than my first. I earned about $9000 each term.

It was close to my home and I didn't want to be in debt by the time college ended. I didn't feel I was ready to move out and be on my own. My school also has one of the top Health Sciences programs in the country.

The reason why I chose to go to this college is that it is close to the place I live and since it is a decent place to study. I also received a scholarship that influenced my choice. No other choices were influencing.
