Co-op contributes directly to 911³Ô¹Ï's learning and teaching mission by integrating academic knowledge with experiential learning, reflective practice and faculty-aligned curriculum. The report highlights three dimensions of Co-op's academic impact:

1. Co-op is academic curriculum: Each Co-op work term is a registered, credit-bearing course with defined learning outcomes, structured reflection and formal assessment—a full pedagogical model aligned with disciplinary expectations.
2. Co-op deepens learning through experience: Learning outside the classroom, developing judgment, navigating ambiguity and integrating theory with lived experience are the critical capacities Co-op builds.
3. Co-op returns value to the classroom: Students return from work terms with deeper disciplinary understanding and increased engagement, enriching their peers' learning. Co-op also generates real-time industry insights that support curriculum renewal across faculties.

Report highlights

• In 2025, more than 9,100 students participated in 911³Ô¹Ï Co-op, completing 3,200 work terms across eight faculties and earning approximately $50 million—reducing financial barriers and supporting degree completion.
• More than 90% of employers reported that students met or exceeded expectations.
• The year also saw Co-op navigating a labour market in transition. Government hiring pauses and a technology sector slowdown tightened opportunities in fields that have historically been strong for Co-op students, while demand grew in clean tech, digital health, AI-enabled roles and organizational digital transformation.
• Rather than preparing students for specific roles that may not exist in five years, 911³Ô¹Ï Co-op emphasizes the durable capacities—ethical reasoning, judgment, adaptability, communication and reflective practice—that remain valuable regardless of how the labour market evolves.
