About this program

PGWP - Post-Graduation Work Permit

PGWP is a key component of post-study rights in Canada, offering graduates up to three years of full work rights. This includes benefits for both the graduate and their partner, along with educational advantages for children.

Intern/Job-Placement

The institution has a specialized department for internships and professional placement, providing crucial support for students by connecting them to opportunities that propel their careers.

Co-Op - Cooperative Education

Co-op seamlessly integrates paid work experience with academic learning. Many Canadian institutions offer about half of the course duration in Co-op mode, enabling students to work full-time during Co-op and part-time during classes.

This program prepares graduates for IT support roles by emphasizing practical skills in installing, configuring, and troubleshooting systems. It enhances employability through comprehensive training in business, computer, and critical thinking skills. Covering areas such as operating systems, networks, and cloud environments, the curriculum includes hands-on experience with industry-standard tools. The program also lays the groundwork for industry certification exams, and an optional co-op stream provides practical work experience.

About Optional Co-op:

College co-op programs offer practical work experience, but employment isn’t guaranteed. Students must actively seek opportunities, handle transportation costs, and be legally eligible to work in Canada. Admission to the co-op stream is competitive, based on an 80% average in Year 1. International students need work permits with potential delays. No co-op fee refunds after withdrawal date, and continuing without a permit is at the student’s risk. Early discussion with a co-op advisor is advised for work permit concerns.
