This
is a co-operative education program that integrates academic study in
the areas of Environmental (EV) Resource Management and
Landscaping (L) with a semester of paid work experience
in government organizations and/or privatecompanies. The focus of study
encompasses the entire ecosystem with special emphasis given to
practical training and technical knowledge to prepare graduates with a
diverse range of skills. Many of the subjects in the curriculum utilize
the beautiful natural environment of King Campus (280 hectares) or
off-campus sites to provide practical training in the out-of-doors.
For those
individuals interested in owning their own company some day or in
preparing for a future management position, specific training is
provided in park and small business management.
Our graduates have had great success in finding employment and advancing in their careers because of the broad range of skills they can offer and the practical experience they acquire through their 16 week (minimum) co-op work term. The students receive job search training, employer contacts, and are introduced to employment opportunities throughout the program. Our diversified curriculum, which combines traditional landscaping, horticulture and park management with environmental resource management training, has positioned our graduates to meet the changing labour market.
