The Co-operative Education Directory is a comprehensive listing of the post-secondary co-operative education programs of member institutions in Canada. This directory can be beneficial to employers seeking co-operative education students for work term opportunities, as well as students interested in learning what programs are available at various co-operative education institutions. For those interested in learning more about co-operative education and for CAFCE members, the directory includes contact information of co-operative education practitioners across Canada.

Every effort has been made to ensure the accurate representation of all information received from members, and program information is presented in the language in which it was submitted.

The "Key Contact" for each CAFCE Member Institution is listed at the very top of the "Contacts" list on each directory page.

Definitions:

"Co-op" (more than one work period)
"Co-op Internship" (one single work period)
"Mandatory" if co-op is required of all students in the academic program
"Optional" category indicates that students have the option of doing Co-op or not (i.e., the program does not set selection criteria)
"Selective" programs set admission standards and admits students based on a set of selection criteria.
"CAFCE Accredited" designation granted through CAFCE's Accreditation Council for a six-year period when an applicant program meets required criteria, as evaluated by an assigned review team.
