Among the international students in Canada who are struggling to find a job there after graduation, some of them eventually make it with relative ease. They're the ones who've already built up much internship (实习) experience while still attending university, as their majors offer a cooperative program.
Coop programs, a feature (特色) of Canadian university programs, allow academic studies to be combined with work experience. During school years, students get to network with employers, gain internship experience in relevant fields, and earn academic credits that count toward their degree or diploma.
Coop programs are available in most comprehensive universities, like the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University and York University. These programs are not only open to students majoring in business but also to many science and art majors. Statistics show that nearly 30 percent of recent foreign applicants have chosen majors that also subscribe to the coop program. "It's easy to understand," said a senior education counselor. He noted that working opportunities are provided by employers that build bridges with the university and most of them are wellknown companies or local government organizations. Moreover, the average salary for interns is as high as C$ 30,000 to C$ 40,000 a year.
Students can choose to work during vacations or term times freely. The required duration of the internship for undergraduates ranges from eight to twelve months, or four to six months for graduate students. "The programs also benefit thosestudents who want to apply for immigration," added the counselor. "That's because the policies of many provinces in Canada require a certain length of work experience of the applicants."
