Work-integrated learning at UCalgary
Looking for opportunities for hands-on learning? Want to get your start in an industry related to your field of study?
More than a quarter of UCalgary students benefit from co-ops, practicums and internships - gaining valuable work experience and making connections with potential employers. Our students gain experience with a variety of leading companies, including Amazon, Garmin, Suncor and BMW.
What are co-ops, internships and practicums?
There are many work integrated learning opportunities that students can explore once they have begun their program at UCalgary.
My advice for future interns would be to make the most out of your experience. Make mistakes, learn and grow into your role because it's a different world outside of the classroom. My time at LightSpeed Logistics was very positive. The biggest takeaway I could take from my experience here is I learned how to connect and build relationships which is a very important skill to have in any position. It's helped shape me personally and professionally into a better individual."
