and spring semesters

Do you want a program that integrates classroom studies with a paid work placement? Do you want the opportunity to develop your hospitality career through both academic and work-place learning?
Co-op is short for ‘cooperative’, as a co-op program relies on the cooperative efforts of the student, the college and an employer.
The VPC Co-op Diploma gives you a chance to gain valuable, paid, work experience during your program of study. The Co-op includes four semesters of study and one semester in a co-op work placement. VPC will help you find the most suitable placement for your experience and interests. As a Co-op student, you may do the work portion of the Diploma after completing a minimum of 2 semesters (30 credits) of studies.
During the Co-op work placement portion of your studies, you may find work in a hotel, resort, restaurant, spa, casino, convention centre, tourist attraction, or other hospitality related worksite. You will complete a minimum of 400 hours of work experience.
Please see the Hospitality Management Diploma for more information on the set of courses. Following is a potential program of study for a student starting in a fall semester:| Year 1 | Year 2 | |||

Studies show that co-op students gain employment sooner after graduation, have
