“Through my PEY Co-op, I learned that engineers consistently look for a better solution that can make operations safer. I was happy to be a part of this process and realize how much impact I can bring.”
Jessie Jung (Year 3, MinE)
Mine Engineering Co-op Student, Nutrien
“The most useful part of PEY Co-op for me is that it's allowed me to see what kinds of paths are open to me after graduation. It's given me more options for my future that I wasn't aware existed, both in terms of direction and how to pursue and build a career.”

“Most companies in my industry highly value real work experience so I’m super glad that I did an internship at such an interesting company like Toyota Canada Inc. Working here opened my eyes to non-traditional engineering work and exposed me to diverse engineering roles.”
Daniela Luna Yong (Recent graduate, EngSci)
Connected Technologies Intern, Toyota Canada Inc.
"My PEY Co-op at Hatch was an amazing experience. Working on the Jansen Project provided me the opportunity to contribute to different phases of the project lifecycle from engineering and design in the office to travelling out to site in Saskatchewan to work on the construction and execution of various scopes of work."
