Learning Research Service Volunteer Engagement

Since 2003, the UPEI Physics Co-op Education program has offered students the opportunity to integrate academic knowledge and workplace experience. This innovative approach to learning allows students to develop a broad skill set that will prepare them for careers in government, industry, and academic environments.

At present, the PEI Department of Innovation and Advanced Learning is offering a wage subsidy (50%) for
Co-op students working in the private-sector priority areas of Bioscience, Renewable Energy, Aerospace, and IT. This gives Island companies an incentive to hire students in these growing economic industries.

There are currently six Physics students participating in the Co-op Education program. Four of the six are working in PEI:
- three are doing research in three areas in the Physics Department
- one is doing research with Phyterra Bio Inc. at the National Research Council, located in the Regis and Joan Duffy Research Centre
