"Originally I took this class because i needed the credit, but as I continued to think more about the potential behind a co-op placement, I realized that having this experience could open more jobs to me and even give me a job at the end of it. Co-op gave me work experience and valuable skills to use towards my future." - Isabelle
"I decided to take co-op because I didn't know what I truly liked and wanted to do in post- secondary and even after it. Taking co-op gave me some first- hand experiences in those areas that I was interested in and also showed me what I disliked and liked "- Suha
"I've learned too many things to count. Everything from health and safety to how everything works in an AC unit or a refrigerator. Being able to do this program has given me the knowledge to go out and work with a company and feel comfortable doing it." - Ben
"Since the start of the co-op, I can say I have made connections with my co-workers and even my classmates in the co-op class. In addition, I made connections with other students in my co-op program. I met students from high schools across Toronto and learned from them about the different jobs within the field of banking. " - Tenzin
