Where passion for the environment meets professional opportunity
The UBC Forestry Co-op Program connects undergraduate students with meaningful workplace experiences, offering practical skills and professional growth across a range of forestry and environmental organizations.
“Co-op opens doors to students when it comes to seeking career options, creating new connections or gaining new skills in the professional world. I think most importantly, it creates a bridge for students in university to start tapping into their strategic-thinking side and develop skills/habits that would set them up for success in their careers.”
