CNA SECPAP (Small Enterprise Co-operative Placement Assistance Program)
Co-operative Education is a form of Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) that alternates academic semesters with paid, program relevant work experience. Depending on the program, Co-op students will participate in one to three work terms that are usually 12-16 weeks in length. Co-op starts on the first day of your program. It is important for students to start thinking about what their goals will be throughout their program. Co-op Programs at College of the North Atlantic, follow Co-operative Education and Work-Integrated Canada (CEWIL) guidelines and meet or exceed the academic accreditation standards set by the industrie's professional association.
