CO-OP STUDENT OF THE YEAR AWARD

This award is a fantastic opportunity to recognize the dedication and meaningful contributions made by U of G co-op students. My journey through the co-op program has been immensely valuable, as it has effectively steered me towards my desired career path in ways I could not have achieved on my own.
