CAFCE is the voice for post-secondary Co-operative Education in Canada and its mission is to foster and advance post-secondary Co-operative Education in Canada.

CAFCE members from 79 postsecondary institutions*  across the country have worked in partnership since 1973 to develop resources to promote the highest quality of post-secondary Co-operative Education Programs. This is achieved through a national forum of professional co-op practitioners; by establishing national standards and promoting the value of post-secondary Co-operative Education; and by delivering opportunities for learning and sharing of best practices.
