Patrick Hannigan (4A Computer Science (CS)), William Zhou (3B CS), Edward Yang (4A CS) and Daniel Yaroslavski (4B CS), were given the opportunity to showcase their learnings in front of peers and faculty along with a brief pitch of their ventures today at an Enterprise Co-op (E-Co-op) presentation session.
Students enrolled in the E Co-op program enter a work term with a entrepreneurial idea as well as the drive to turn it into a business. Over their co-op term, students receive ongoing mentoring and feedback on the development of their business while actively being part of an entrepreneurial ecosystem that supports and propels students to succeed.
Having
completed
two
E
Co-op
terms,
Zhou
and
his
venture
Vetica,
are aiming
to
change
the
way
education
and
technology
interact.
Creating
products
that
focus
on
ease
of
use,
scalability, and
collaboration
for
educators,
Vetica already
has
close
to
$80,000
in
bookings.
These are just a few examples of the students and ventures that have completed the E Co-op program. The Conrad Centre for Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology, has undergraduate programs that provide great experiences which allow students to build business knowledge, capabilities and independence that employers will value.
