Co-ops & Internships
Lambton College offers many programs with co-op terms or internship courses in the areas of technology and business. Co-op programs allow students to apply knowledge learned in the classroom immediately in the workplace. It also allows students - in most cases - to earn while they learn, since many co-ops are paid.
What is a Co-op or Internship?
Internship and Co-op opportunities provide students with practical work experience that may assist them in finding permanent employment after they graduate. Students have access to Lambton College's Co-op and Career Advisors who provide comprehensive co-op and career development services and resources for students eligible for internship and co-op. Both Internship and Co-op are competitive – the employer makes all the decisions; students are not placed into opportunities.
Internships provide up to 180 hours of practical experience during a term and Co-op is a minimum of 420 hours during one work term.

Having a co-op student from Lambton College has been a wonderful experience. We gained a student who was eager and prepared to learn and we also gained a very capable team member who supported our research in many ways. We’ve been accepting co op students for three years now and plan to continue this into the future.
