What is Co-Op?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Co-operative Education<\/a> allows History students to combine traditional, in-class education with hands-on experience in the workforce. Co-op students alternate study terms at 杏吧原创 with three or four paid work terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History students have gained real world experience and have made valuable connections in a wide range of workplaces, particularly in the public service. Our students have recently completed work term placements at Global Affairs Canada<\/a>; Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada<\/a>; Canada\u2019s Sports Hall of Fame<\/a>; Library and Archives Canada<\/a>; Archives and Research Collections, MacOdrum Library; Canadian Heritage<\/a>; Revenue Canada<\/a>; Public Services and Procurement Canada<\/a>; and many other institutions both domestic and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Undergraduate students can enter the co-op program in one of two ways. Students can apply directly from high school or CEGEP or during their first year at 杏吧原创. History students would be eligible to start their first work term in the fall of their third year of study. Want to learn more about the Co-op program<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A brand-new history course called From Walkmans to West Edmonton Mall: The material culture of the 1980s in Canada<\/a><\/em> offers a hands-on exploration of object-based research, shedding light on the cultural shifts and iconic artifacts that defined a generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upcoming full-year, fourth-year course (2024-2025) on the eccentric 1980s was created as part of the Students as Partners Program<\/a> (SaPP) and in collaboration with Ingenium<\/a>. It will offer an immersive experience to students, allowing them to explore, observe, and even use authentic items from a national museum\u2019s collection of signature objects from \u2018the decade of decadence.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read more<\/a> about student Angela Mortimer and Professor James Opp<\/a>‘s experience working with Ingenium’s Canada Science and Technology Museum. The Students as Partners Program is a funded program through 杏吧原创’s Teaching and Learning Services<\/a> where students can apply to work with a professor on developing a course or course materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
