If you are a student in Engineering, Math, Arts or Environment approaching your first work term and looking for experience working at a start-up, you may want to consider the Bridging Entrepreneurs to Students (BETS) program.
This 15-week co-op term consists of over 80 hours of training and development working for a company on a project-based placement in the Kitchener-Waterloo area.
How it works
The BETS program allows first-work term students from participating faculties to experience working with the founding members of a startup team. If you're selected, you'll get a chance to make real contributions to early business objectives, and to the startup trajectory. This program will pair teams of two entrepreneurial co-op students with companies for project-based placements.
The Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business will mentor and support you throughout the 15-week term and help you develop transferable employment skills through a series of workshops, seminars, and micro work term placements.
The program consists of:
- One full week of intensive training and development (first week).
- Student teams of two will be assigned to work for a company for a project-based placement matched by the BETS Co-ordinator on the basis of student skill set and identified learning goals (14 weeks).
Eligibility: must be a first-work term student in Engineering, Math, Arts or Environment.
