10 The Georgian College advantage Co-operative education and other work experience are key components of many of our diploma and degree programs Co-op programs allow students to gain paid work experience in their professional field during their studies. For example, a two-year diploma program might look like this: Most co-ops are full-time and paid, so you can earn between $6,000 and $8,000 in each co-op semester. Students enrolled in our co-op programs and who meet academic requirements alternate PAID work terms with semesters of academic study. Our international co-op office team will assist in helping you develop your resumé and improving your interview skills for your job search. In addition to opportunities for work during your studies, with a graduate diploma of two years or more, qualifying students can remain in Canada on a work permit for up to three years. Completion of one year of a three-year work permit qualifies you to apply for permanent residency. Semester 2 Semester 1 Work Term 1 Semester 3 Work Term 2 Semester 4 Double your credentials with a diploma and a degree! Articulation and transfer agreements allow Georgian College graduates to enter a program at another institution using transfer credits. Currently, 98 per cent of Georgian College programs offer at least one pathway option. In total, Georgian programs offer 500 such opportunities with 47 institutions in Ontario, Canada and around the world. For current details, visit our Credit Transfer Centre website at georgiancollege.ca/admissions/credit-transfer Many employers prefer to hire graduates who hold a diploma as well as a degree – not only because such graduates have two credentials but also because they have obtained hands-on work experience through co-op terms.
