Cooperative Education students are engaged through meaningful experiences which allow them to discover who they are, explore opportunities, pursue their passions and design personal pathways to success.

Through experiential learning, including cooperative education and work experience placements, students can be made aware of all the opportunities available to them, and they are given the opportunities to develop competencies, and skills, and to have hands-on experiences that allow them to pursue their passion, no matter what pathway they choose to take (Building the Workforce of Tomorrow: A Shared Responsibility).

We are extremely appreciative of local employers who are our partners in education. They foster our students in opportunities that provide a rich learning experience that are anchored in the Ontario curriculum. This semester students are engaged in workplace experiential learning at:
Altona Forest P.S.; Bavarian Motorsport; Belle Wood Equestrian Centre; Boyer Pontiac Buick GMC Ltd.; Bradshaw Plumbing & Heating ; Carriage Auto; Complex Injury Rehab; Cushman Wakefield - Pickering Town Centre; Custom Cutz; Doria’s Garage; First Steps Child Care; Fix Auto; Highbush P.S.; Jack Astor’s ; Jemm Truck & Trailer; Knights on Guard; Oluyemisi Abrahams Law Office ; Pickering Auto Lab ; Pickering Chrysler; Pickering Toyota; The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada; The Court at Pringle Creek; VIVA Retirement Community; Volkswagen Group Canada Inc.; YMCA of Greater Toronto

If you are a business owner or work locally and are interested in exploring an experiential learning partnership with St. Mary with your company, we would LOVE to hear from you!
