Impressions to Others• I would say that it was a very
enriching experience in terms of knowledge and work experience. Co-op prepares you for your future career and gives you an idea of what you will be facing day-to-day in your not so far future. It opens up more career paths and it makes it specific, work and be treated as a worker. It’s a serious program, so take it seriously.
