The Co-op Japan Program has been a pivotal experience for me in terms of my studies, my career and my personal development.
During my time in Japan I have grown substantially as a person and have gained experience and insight into engineering that I could not have gained in a conventional Canadian internship. It has made me consider the future of my profession in a global scale.
I have worked in engineering R&D in three countries and two continents at this point and aside from the knowledge and technical experience I have gained, the comparision that I have been able to perform first hand of both the two social and business cultures has been one of the most fascinating experiences in my life to date.
I will always be grateful to the CJP and JETRO Program administrative and support staff for their unwavering support during this last year. It is through the hard work of these academic support staff that students like me would have this opportunity.
I would highly recommend this program to any undergraduate student in engineering.
