Details

Through the Co-operative Education Stream, students grow as young professionals through the four courses that they complete. That Co-op journey has inspired the idea of creating a COOP 290 “Student” whose story Co-op students can follow through their journey throughout the COOP 290 course work. The goal is that students will identify more with the phases of career exploration and development by personalizing the process. This will be a team project for a team of up to three students.

This project is dedicated to building that student’s Co-op Story and is divided into three key phases:

Phase One

Create the profile for the COOP 290 student and design related materials. These will include:

· Skills assessment

· Networking plan

· Information interview script

· Resume and Cover Letter

· Practice interview responses

Deliverables
No deliverables exist for this project.
Mentorship

I will collaborate with the team to discuss the course work and monitor progress. We will meet regularly to monitor progress and discuss and issues that ariise.

About the company

The Co-operative Education Stream is an educational option available to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Commerce Program at MacEwan University. Co-operative Education(Co-op) began at MacEwan Unviersity as a mandatory program requirement for the Supply Chain Management Co-op Major. In Fall 2017, Co-op became an optional offering available to students from all Bachelor of Commerce Majors. In the Co-op stream students complete four courses: a pre-employment seminar (COOP 290) which focuses on career development, job search, and preparation for work experience. The other three courses are three four-month work experience courses.
