Co-operative Education/Internship Definition
Georgian College is a member of the Canadian Association of Co-operative Education (CAFCE), Education at Work Ontario (EWO) and the Canadian Association for Internship Programs (CAFIP) and abides by their Definition and Code of Ethics.
Co-operative Education is defined as a program that formally integrates a student's academic studies with work experience in Co-operative employer organizations. The usual Co-op model followed is for students to alternate periods of work experience and academic study in appropriate fields of business, industry, government, social services and the professions according to the following criteria:
- Each work situation is developed and/or approved by the Co-operative educational institution as a suitable learning situation
- The student is engaged in productive work rather than merely observing
- The student receives remuneration for the work performed
- The institution monitors the student's progress on the job
- The student's performance on the job is supervised and evaluated by the student's employer
- The total work experience is normally fifty percent (50%) of the time spent in academic study and in no circumstances less than thirty percent (30%).
Internship is an extended period of paid work experience that is an integral part of a program of post-secondary study. Students are employed in settings which provide work experience directly related to their academic programs and career objectives.

International Students are successful in Co-ops too!
Many international students choose to study at Georgian College because we have a long history of delivery work-integrated learning. All of Georgian's co-op programs require students – including international students – to complete successful co-op work terms in order to graduate. What that means is that a student in a three year co-op program actually will have completed two years of academic study along with one year work experience when they graduate. Having the opportunity to gain industry related work experience often leads to better opportunities upon completion of the program.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, all international students are required to have the appropriate work authorization in order to work in Canada. Students who are in a co-op program will need to apply for a Co-op Work Permit in order to work legally in Canada. It is a good idea to apply for the Co-op Work Permit about four months before your co-op or internship work term. There is no additional fee for this work permit since co-op is a mandatory component of the program. Staff in the International Centre (C279) at Georgian will guide students through the process.
The co-op work permit allows students to work co-op/internship jobs only and cannot be used for any other type of work. For further information please visit the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website.
Students will also need to apply for a Social Insurance Number (SIN) in order to legally work in Canada.
Everyone has to start somewhere and while some employers may prefer to hire candidates with experience, many employers realize that not everyone comes with industry related experience. There are other ways to gain experience and build a resume. All students have access to The Centre for Co-operative Education, Internships and Career Centre staff who can assist in building a resume and cover letter. Some things that you might like to highlight include, but are not limited to Objective, Profile of Skills, Education, Volunteer Work, Awards, Certificates, Additional Training, Special Projects, Community Involvement, Interests & Activities and References.
Georgian is the only College or University across Canada that has an International Co-op Consultant. The International Co-op Consultant is there to provide extra supports to international students in any job search related activity. These supports include extra assistance in understanding employment in Canada, understanding employer expectations, Canadian resumes, cover letters and interviews, one-to-one job search assistance, specialized workshops and personal coaching. All students in a co-op program will work very closely with the Co-op Consultant for their program area and will have access to our online system for co-op job postings and to our services in the Career Centre. Students are expected to manage their time and commitments and ask for help, so be proactive and get connected – use the services and plan ahead! The International Co-op Consultant's office is located in B110. Stop by or call 705.728.1968 ext 1340 to book an apt.
The idea behind co-op is to give students the opportunity to gain real life work experience in their industry and are expected to be treated like any other employee at the company, so yes, co-op work terms are paid. Students will typically earn anywhere from $10.25 per hour to $22 per hour, depending on the industry, the company, the location and the qualifications of the student. Students are encouraged to consider far more than just the wage they will be earning. When applying to jobs, think about the type of company, the experience you'll gain, your long term career goals, and how you will get to and from work each day or where you're going to live…. All of these are factors when conducting a realistic job search.
Yes, international students in a post-secondary program are permitted to work on-campus or part-time off-campus up to 20 hours per week. Your study permit will allow you to work up to 20 hours per week during regular academic sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks, such as the winter and summer holidays or spring break.
To qualify, you must:
- have a valid study permit,
- be enrolled at a designated learning institution at the post-secondary level,
- be a full-time student and,
- be studying in an academic, vocational or professional training program that leads to a degree, diploma or certificate that is at least six months in duration.
For additional information regarding off-campus work please visit the Citizenship and Immigration Canada- off campus work website.
Services are available through the Career Centre for students who are looking for part-time employment.
Build a resume and be open to making changes to it once you get here and start your job search. If you have previous work experience, consider contacting that employer(s) and asking them to write a reference letter for you. This letter should include information about the type of work that you did in your position and how the employer felt about your performance. This letter should also be typed on company letter-head and signed by a Manager, Supervisor or someone in a senior level role. You may also want to build a portfolio. A portfolio is a collection of achievements and job search related things to demonstrate your career to a prospective employer. This may be a binder, folder or other package and contain things such as awards, certificates, copies of other diploma's, certificates, reference letters, examples of your work or things that you have created or achieved. Another suggestion is be prepared to obtain an Ontario driver's license. While it is not mandatory, often employers will request that students have a valid Ontario driver's license. Ontario operates under a Graduated Licensing System. Graduated licensing lets new drivers get driving experience and skills gradually. The two-step licensing process takes at least 20 months to complete. For more information, go to www.mto.gov.on.ca.
Yes! Georgian College works with employers to create opportunities for Georgian students and graduates across the province, nationally and internationally. While we do post some jobs that are local to the Barrie Campus, students should be prepared to relocate for their Co-op Job, as employers can be anywhere. While many of the opportunities we promote are local, students may find work in places like Barrie, Orillia, Midhurst, Innisfil, Muskoka, Midland, Borden, Newmarket, Bradford, Collingwood, Toronto, Mississauga, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Brampton, Guelph, Kitchener, Sudbury, North Bay, London or in other provinces or even in other countries. Some international students may choose to return home for a co-op work term.
No. No student is guaranteed a co-op job, but as long as you remain in good standing and are eligible for a co-op work term, then you will have access to all the resources needed in order to be successful in a co-op program. Georgian's Co-op Consultants spend a lot of time building and maintaining relationships with employers who hire co-ops, interns, graduates and students for a variety of types of work. We expect students to go to their co-op classes and use the services available in order to compete and interview for positions with employers that post with Georgian College. Students are also strongly encouraged to conduct an independent job search. There are services to assist with anything and everything related to employment through our Centre for Co-operative Education, Internship & Career Services, so be sure to use them.
Georgian College works with thousands of employers to provide opportunities to thousands of students. You may end up working for a major corporation, a small business or may even consider starting a company of your own as an entrepreneur. The possibilities are endless.
If you are an international student and have questions about co-op, internships, graduate work or simply employment in Canada, contact Joanne Foxton, International Co-op Consultant at email@example.com or the Centre for Co-operative Education/Internships & Career Services at email@example.com

Better than expected!
The pictures on the website don't do this product justice. The quality of the printing and materials are much nicer than expected. Customer service is efficient & friendly (rare combo!) and overall fantastic. I needed to add a picture to the top inside flap, and they did it exactly as I had requested. A real person called me to let me know that they had received the order and also when my proof was ready. Really great company & products.
Beautiful card
I love this website and the creativity that it gives the user!

Hebron Christian School located in small Pheba, Mississippi, in the west part of Clay County made some serious noise in the eight man football ranks this season.
Though classified as an independent by the MAIS, Hebron rattled off an impressive eight straight wins and rose every week in the Mississippi eight-man polls. The highest ranking they received was #3 before the heart breaking loss to #2 Calhoun Academy, a favorite to challenge for the MAIS eight-man football crown. The Eagles finished #5 in the Mississippi eight-man polls and held a final record of 8-2 but were unable to enter the playoffs due to their independent status.
"I just kept telling my guys, let's see how far we can get in the polls," commented Coach David Foster on his Eagles' season, "It is a major accomplishment to finish in the top five of Mississippi."
Playing every game like a playoff game, the Eagles were able to put emphasis on every game and never overlook any opponent. After opening the season with a victory over 11-man Strider Academy, Hebron defeated their next seven opponents; Victory Christian, Calvary Christian, Clinton Christian, Mt. Salus, Central Academy, Kemper Academy, and Flint Hill Christian. Hebron beat these eight teams by a combined score of 304-94. Many of these games were finished by halftime showing how dominant Hebron was offensively and defensively.
A lot of the Eagles success can be attributed to a very Senior-laden team. Six seniors, Will Corbin Rogers, Taylor Coggins, Austin Foster, Tyler Doss, Jacob Ware, and Ryan Moore, led the Eagles throughout the season.
Offensively, Hebron was very dominant putting up very big numbers almost every single game. Senior Coggins led the rushing yards totals with 1,056 yards which led to 11 rushing touchdowns. Along with Coggins, Austin Foster (563 rushing yards and 9 rushing touchdowns) and quarterback Rogers (758 yards and 7 rushing touchdowns) helped carry some of the workload for Coggins. Hebron complimented their smash mouth running attack with consistent passing from Rogers who threw for 622 yards completing 65 percent of his passes and throwing for 7 touchdowns. Ryan Moore was the recipient of many passes from Rogers accumulating 14 catches for 234 yards tallying 5 receiving touchdowns. Andrew Myatt also led in the receiving category with 5 catches amassing 109 yards and 2 receiving touchdowns. Hebron consistently put up points throughout the season making it tougher for Hebron's opponents to slack off on defense or ever shorten the deficit they faced against the Eagles.
           Coach Foster preached to his boys that they had to do well offensively, but their main focus was on the defensive side of the ball. Leading tacklers for Hebron Christian were Austin Foster (98 tackles), Collin Moore (82 tackles), Taylor Coggins (67 tackles), Ryan Moore (63 tackles), and Channing Tapely (57 tackles). The Eagles held one shut out and only allowed an average of 17 points a game. Considering many players played both sides of the ball, Hebron was a tough team to figure out defensively and to put a lot of points on the board against.
After such a great year, Hebron hopes to return next August to continue their success and build their program. It will be tough to replace these six Seniors, but a few talented underclassmen are willing to answer the call and rise to the occasion. Hebron will return to the MAIS North Division where they will hope to have a chance to enter the playoffs next October. The Eagles will be a team to keep an eye on next year under the leadership of Coach David Foster and his son Hearne Foster.

In two
separate studies, massage therapy shows promise in reducing pain
and increasing the range of motion for those with osteoarthritis of
the knee.
One study had a group of patients attend supervised self-massage
sessions twice a week, and taught them a regimen of self-massage
techniques to use at home. At the end of the study, researchers
found an overall improvement in stiffness, function and pain for
the intervention group, while a control group that did not
participate in the self-massage remained the same.
In a second study, patients receiving regular weekly or
bi-weekly massage showed reduced pain and stiffness and increased
Here is a
summary of both studies prepared by the American Massage
Therapy Association.
It's great to know that massage therapy may have the potential
to reduce reliance on prescription and over-the-counter pain
medication in osteoarthritis of the knee.
NUHS has a strong culture of supporting research by its faculty,
graduate students, and students in its massage therapy program. The
field of massage welcomes new research and case studies that track
the benefits and applications of massage for various health
One massage student, Lauren Camer, did research at NUHS that
culminated in a poster that she presented at a national conference
after she graduated. She presented her poster at the 2013 American
Massage Therapy Association National Convention in Fort Worth,
Texas in September. Her topic was "Massage Therapy for Balance and
Proprioceptive Deficits in a Juvenile: A Case Report."
Lauren Cramer presents her research at the AMTA National
The poster was based on the case of a boy with balance problems
who received ten 30-minute manual massage therapy treatments over
the course of five weeks. The therapist performed balance
assessments on the boy before, during and after the massage therapy
sessions. Lauren's case study on the boy showed that massage
provided a positive and lasting impact.
While working on her research project, Lauren appreciated
mentorship from her clinical supervisor, Dr. Patricia Coe,
as well as her co-author, NUHS clinical research coordinator, Jen
"They were always available to answer questions, and helped me
with the preliminary work I needed to do to get my research
proposal approved by the university," says Lauren.
Now that she has graduated from NUHS, Lauren Camer is currently
a licensed massage therapist in Illinois. She has a mobile massage
service in addition to providing corporate chair massages and
working in a chiropractic physician's office part-time.
National University is proud of its many of its faculty members
who are published in nationwide magazines and professional
journals. This includes our faculty who are experts in massage
therapy. For example, this November, you'll find our massage
therapy clinic supervisor,
Dr. Patricia Coe, quoted in O: The Oprah Magazine.
Also, one of National's research professors, Dr. Jerrilyn
Cambron, wrote an article on the topic of vetting good massage
research for the November/December issue of Massage & Bodywork magazine. Dr. Cambron
knows a great deal about massage research, as she is the current
president-elect of the Massage Therapy Foundation and a co-founder
of MassageNet.org.

Most people are great candidates for the relaxation and health
benefits of massage therapy. However, there are times when a
massage may not be the right choice.
"Certain conditions contraindicate massage, either because of
the risk it may pose to the client or to the therapist," says
Patricia Coe, DC, ND, clinic supervisor for National University
of Health Sciences' massage therapy
At NUHS, massage students learn how to communicate with clients
about their health conditions and assess whether a massage is the
right choice for them that day, which techniques are advisable, and
when a note or consultation with a client's physician is in
For example, if a client has a cold, flu, or other contagious
viral or bacterial infection, the therapist may decline to work
with them so that they don't catch a cold and risk passing the
infection to other clients.
"When a client has a cold or flu, a massage might seem
comforting," says Dr. Coe. "However, when someone has an infection,
their body is already working hard to fight it and recover. A
massage can be very stimulating internally and place certain
demands on the body during a time when your client should be simply
Another occasion when a massage should be postponed is if the
client is intoxicated. Many folks seek out massage while on
vacation or under stress. They may have also had a few cocktails to
relax as well. "Intoxication is a risk during massage," says
Dr. Coe, "primarily because it desensitizes the client. This makes
it hard for them to give the therapist reliable feedback. A massage
therapist needs to know what level of pressure is comfortable and
what is too much. If you're client is intoxicated, those sensations
are unreliable."
""An acute injury is also likely to be a contraindication to
massage," says Dr. Coe. "Although it may seem like a great idea to
get a massage immediately after straining a muscle, if there is
damage to the area, massage may actually interfere with the healing
"A good therapist will guide the discussion on health issues so
that they can determine the right technique for a client and
whether or not a massage is contraindicated," says Dr. Coe. "In our
program we give students the tools to do this."
"The healing benefits of massage therapy are many, and it is
fairly rare to encounter situations where massage is
contraindicated for very long," according to Dr. Coe.

O Mag. has wonderful articles that appeal to women of all ages. I look forward to my magazine every month. However, some of their clothes in the "Style" portion of the magazine are ridiculously priced. Example..page 92 of June 07' mag.. beach flip-flops for $310 ! Bathing suits on pg. 92 $380 - $417. Certainly Oprah can afford these, but as a middle-class single working mother, looking at these just reiterates once again, how out of range these nicer things are. Editors...please please choose more realistic clothes & assessories. Maybe something us working mothers can actually afford!

I was delighted when my daughter subscribed for me to receive O Magazine. However, I am totally disgusted with the magazine. There are too many advertisements!!! The book is too big to handle and some of the writers are not that good. Too much "chase". Just get to the point. Be concise! Start another magazine or do something else for all of the advertisers. I can suggest a few things. This last issue was the worst that I have received and I am a true fan of Oprah and all that she does.

Oprah has been a true inspiration to me, and she reaches out to more of her fans by supplying us with a magazine with her shining and happy face on the front cover every month.
I have always like O magazine!
got as gift for the wife. she reads cover to cover and waits for the next one to come in the mail. overall i think a great purchase.
I enjoy getting O, The Oprah Magazine every month.
Articles are very well written. The Content is very thought provoking and interesting. Great recipes! Good Book reviews.
A bit ad heavy and most ads are for higher end products.
I'm more impressed lately with how courageous the articles in O, The Oprah Magazine are --more concerned with the environment (although, still LOTS of promotions of not-so-good-for-the-environment beauty products but I guess that pays the bills) and worldwise. I enjoy the diversity, range, and depth of what is presented. I wish there were less reviews of books and more 'book', i.e. excerpts.
I love the articles in O, The Oprah Magazine; they are full of meaning and interesting.

O, The Oprah Magazine Magazine Subscription Review Video
I'm TV & Radio host Patricia Lopez and I know I'm not alone when I say that I love Oprah. Her show was always tops on my DVR priority list so her magazine has naturally gained a special place on my monthly reading list.
If you're thinking about a subscription to Oprah Magazine let me tell you why I think you'll love it.
The magazine covers serious topics like health, relationships and career but also covers fun stuff like fashion, books and entertainment. It's really a whole life magazine, meaning there are articles about anything and everything about life, not just a single focus.
If you're looking for practical ways to improve yourself and the world, this is a good resource.
I especially like how Oprah Magazine handles celebrity topics. In addition to the usual celebrity interview, celebrities are featured in the "Books That Made a Difference," column in which they talk about their favorite books and are also regularly featured in the column "Aha! Moment," in which they talk about a turning point, sometimes a major failure, in their lives or careers.
"Live Your Best Life" is a regular column that includes different views that inspire, motivate and celebrate various walks of life while "Feeling Good" includes health, fitness news and tips.
I also like the regular advice columns from Suze Orman on money, Dr. Phil on relationships, Dr. Oz on health and Peter Walsh on home organizing.
Even though she appears on the cover of every issue, O magazine isn't all about Oprah. But she does include two columns in every issue.
"O Zone" talks about new things going on in Oprah's world and highlights new shows on Oprah's OWN network.
"What I Know for Sure" is the last page and is written by Oprah that focuses on a single theme like family, humility or gratitude.

Gerry O'Shea, Jr.
2011 Team Eye and Ear member
Raised $5,430 for head and neck cancer research
Since a young age I have lived with hearing loss in my right ear. Cholesteatomas, tumor-like growths in both of my middle ears, have led to five surgeries over the years and I still see a physician at Mass. Eye and Ear for follow-up. Although I have lived most of my live with hearing loss, my experiences over the past two years relating to an eye injury motivated me to join Team Eye and Ear to raise important funds for this world-class organization. In February 2010, I underwent surgery at Mass. Eye and Ear to repair a torn and detached retina in my right eye which resulted from a basketball injury.
My experience while staying overnight after my retina surgery influenced my opinion most about Mass. Eye and Ear. In my recovery room after surgery, my roommate was a gentleman who was struggling with jaw cancer. He had also just come out an extremely invasive and painful surgery. He had traveled from Germany for this surgery at Mass. Eye and Ear. He explained that he had researched the best hospitals world-wide for his type of surgery and chose Mass. Eye and Ear as his best option. In the recovery room, he and I spent several hours talking – well into the morning – sharing our personal and professional backgrounds as well as stories about our families and our lives in general. Afterwards we kept in touch via e-mail. Most of my vision has been restored thanks to Mass. Eye and Ear. Sadly, I found out a few months later that my roommate had passed away after several more months of chemotherapy and radiation.
Upon joining Team Eye and Ear, I chose to raise funds for head and neck cancer research at Mass. Eye and Ear so that others do not have to endure what my roommate in the recovery room went through. So that one day, we might find a cure for this type of invasive cancer.
The day of the marathon was one of the best days of my life. After months of training on the course in the snow, wind and ice, Marathon Monday delivered perfect conditions. After struggling through Wellesley and up Heartbreak Hill, I was able to finish and beat my personal goal for the race.
Being part of Team Eye and Ear was very rewarding because I knew that I made a difference for so many others.

Americans' religious freedom prevailed this week when the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its decision in Hobby Lobby's challenge of Obama-care's mandates on contraceptives.
The thin margin — justices split 5-4 — demonstrates just how threatened this First Amendment freedom is. One more vote on the government side and America's founders would have been, as the saying goes, turning in their graves only days before the country celebrates its Declaration of Independence from an overreaching government.
The freedom of citizens to carry out their religious beliefs was so important in the minds of the founders that they placed it first in the Bill of Rights. Government, they knew, had no place in the moral beliefs and practices of the individual. That is as true today as it was then. The justices were right to confirm it.
Those familiar with Hobby Lobby, which appears to be planning to open in Jacksonville, know that its owners' lives and business practices are governed by their deeply held religious beliefs which include opposition to abortion.
Those beliefs led them to challenge a portion the president's intrusive health-care law that requires employers to provide workers with insurance coverage that includes free contraceptives.
Make no mistake about it. Hobby Lobby did not file the legal challenge to eliminate all birth-control methods from its employee health insurance coverage, only those that its devoutly Christian owners believe cause abortion.
As quickly as the court's ruling hit the news wires, Obama-care supporters began their expected howls that twist the truth about what this decision means.
The ruling does not deny contraception coverage to women who work for Hobby Lobby and other similarly owned businesses. Plenty of options remain available under the company's health insurance coverage.
And as with workers at all businesses, those on the Hobby Lobby payroll who dislike the company's health insurance plan are free to find jobs elsewhere with companies that offer plans with a wider choice of contraceptives.
Those with opposing views to Hobby Lobby would have you believe that the case is about a woman's "right" to choose contraceptives. In reality, the case is about government forcing an employer to pay for contraceptives against his or her moral values.
This week's Supreme Court ruling, despite its narrow margin, is a welcome victory for freedom of religion. How appropriate for it to come down as Americans all across this great land celebrate the deepest roots of our freedom from government tyranny.

A new TV ad from Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jay Inslee charges that Rob McKenna wants to raise your property taxes.
Nearly a third to half of Washington school districts will see their property taxes go up, hundreds of thousands of taxpayers will pay more, the ad's narrator says of the GOP candidate's education plan.
McKenna said he supports changes to the way Washington property taxes are collected. But this particular idea is not aimed at raising more money from taxpayers. Instead, McKenna's proposal comes in response to a Washington Supreme Court ruling that system for levying and collecting property taxes is unfair.
Currently, public schools are supported by a portion of your property tax, which is sent to the state and then handed over to the schools. In some area of the state, including Seattle and many other school districts in the state, voters have approved additional property tax levies to support schools.
Over the years, school districts have come to rely more and more on local levies. In a ruling this year, however, the state's highest court said this practice needs to stop because it unfairly favors students in wealthier districts (where the property tax base is higher) and districts where voters support added levies.
The state Supreme Court said the state should provide a bigger share of school funding that's more fair to all districts.
One group of lawmakers has been working on a way to do that, proposing a property tax swap.
Inslee's ad tries to make the swap sound sinister -- McKenna proposes a property tax swap that will allow Olympia politicians to set your new tax rate, the narrator says.
But in fact one of the idea's biggest advocates is a member of Inslee's party, the Democrats' top budget writer in the state House.
Under the swap proposal, the state would raise the property tax rate across the board. The lawmakers envision that the typical home owner would pay somewhere in the neighborhood of an additional $200 to $400 a year, raising an estimated $1 billion annually. The state would then district the money to school district based on each district's total enrollment.
School districts would then be required to reduce their local levy by the same amount.
The homeowner, therefore, pays more to the state but less to the local school district -- thus, the swap.
In his education plan, McKenna assumes that the swap has to be made.
It's a revenue-neutral replacement of local levy dollars with state levy dollars because we have to meet that requirement, McKenna said.
Republicans estimate that under the swap proposal, taxpayers in 156 school districts would actually pay less, while taxpayers in 139 districts would pay more. The homeowners likely to pay more are those living in property-wealthy districts.
The property tax swap McKenna supports is a bipartisan idea that's not about raising tax revenue. The ironic thing about Inslee attacking McKenna on this plan is that it's the wealthy districts that would pay more -- an idea embraced by many other Democrats.
Our ruling: It's not so simple.

SEATTLE, March 30, 2012 - Seattle NBC affiliate KING Television (Channel 5) aired a story during their 5 p.m. PT newscast tonight about a relatively new, FDA-approved medical device called LifeVest ®. The wearable defibrillator is a treatment option for sudden cardiac arrest that offers patients advanced protection and monitoring as well as improved quality of life.
LifeVest is the first wearable defibrillator. Unlike an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), the LifeVest is worn outside the body rather than implanted in the chest. This device continuously monitors the patient's heart with dry, non-adhesive sensing electrodes to detect life-threatening abnormal heart rhythms. If a life-threatening rhythm is detected, the device alerts the patient prior to delivering a treatment shock, and thus allows a conscious patient to delay the treatment shock. If the patient becomes unconscious, the device releases a Blue™ gel over the therapy electrodes and delivers an electrical shock to restore normal rhythm.
