This experience serves students who require a co-op credit but who, for a variety of reasons, may not be able to complete a co-op placement. This virtual co-op program is an alternative for students who may have other barriers that limit them to complete a co-op placement in the community. Some of the barriers students face can encompass: social anxiety, inability to commute to a placement; no opportunity available due to the ‘pandemic’; lack of time available within their academic timetable and many more.
