On average, 50% of UBC iSchool co-op jobs will require a move to a city outside of Metro Vancouver. Employers review applications, select the candidates they would like to interview, and make any job offers through the Co-op Office. As a co-op student, you will have access to a database of postings, choose which positions to apply for, and submit applications via the Co-op Office. This means that you are not guaranteed a position. You will go through a “real world” competitive process to secure co-op positions with support from co-op staff. Exceptions may be granted to students who complete one or two co-op work terms earlier in their UBC iSchool degree program and wish to seek an additional co-op work term experience. Normally, you are not allowed to graduate on a co-op work term.
