Program Overview<br />

day or evening basis in Whitehorse.<br />
Several courses are available in outlying<br />
communities through the community<br />
campus network or by distance delivery.<br />
Employment opportunities exist in<br />
many administrative areas, such as<br />
government, small business, not-forprofit<br />
organizations, the investment<br />
industry, real estate, banking and the<br />
retail and hospitality industries. Possible<br />
positions include those in accounting,<br />
human resources, financial management<br />
and general management.<br />

Diploma Program<br />
(Co-operative Education option)<br />
The Co-operative Education option<br />
is available to students who plan to<br />
complete the Business Administration<br />
diploma. In order to participate in the<br />
Co-operative Education option, Business<br />
Administration students must maintain<br />
an average grade of B- or higher,<br />
complete the Professional Development<br />
seminar assignments and complete a<br />
report based on their work term.<br />
The Professional Development seminars,<br />
the one-on-one advising sessions<br />
with the Co-operative Education coordinator<br />
and the work term lead to<br />
an understanding of career options<br />
and how to make transitions into new<br />
fields. Co-operative Education students<br />
compete with one another for Cooperative<br />
Education work placements<br />
and the number of job openings<br />
depends upon employer demand. A<br />
work term consists of a minimum of<br />
12 weeks of relevant, paid experience.<br />
Students are required to complete one<br />
work term to qualify for a Co-operative<br />
Education citation on their diploma, but<br />
students may complete as many as three<br />
work terms as they proceed towards their<br />
Diploma in Business Administration.<br />
Co-operative Education will provide<br />
students with the following benefits:<br />
• a variety of Professional<br />
Development seminars<br />
• valuable job search and work<br />
experience<br />
• contacts and references for future<br />
employment<br />
• a chance to investigate potential<br />
career options<br />
• income while working towards a<br />
Business Administration diploma<br />
• the application of theory to actual<br />
work situations<br />
• confidence regarding employment<br />
skills<br />
• a monitored on-the-job experience<br />
• clarity about the relevance and<br />
application of course material<br />
• a documented work term on the<br />
student’s <strong>College</strong> transcript<br />
