Co-op Study Abroad
TRU students in the Co-op program have the opportunity to learn more about Co-op Abroad placements. Students considering working overseas should allow up to eight months prior to departure for planning. Additionally, be aware there are limited locations at this time.
The first step is to either speak with a Co-op coordinator or go to the Co-operative Education webpages.
The Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills has more information for students about working abroad.
