Co-op Work Experience SNAPSHOT Student: Jiali Sun I am learning so much during my co-op as Librarian at the Jianggan District Library. It is extremely hard to find a period of time to only read but not doing any other things during my daily life, and I am able to spend some time reading something I am interested. Meanwhile, it is such a great place to develop my communication and creative thinking skills while holding events. #coopworks #CapUTourism #BCTourismmatters

Co-op Work Experience SNAPSHOT Student: Mariana Luna After several months of uncertainty, I am beyond happy at how my co-op experience turned out. I have been working as a Front Desk Agent for Worldmark by Wyndham in Whistler since the beginning of July. It has been great to apply the skills I have learnt in the Tourism program while also gaining new ones. With Whistler being a top tourist destination and classes being held remotely, I hope to stay until next year fostering c...onnections, learning about opportunities in the area and, of course, skiing! Although COVID-19 has affected us all in many ways, it has been inspiring to see how the industry, specifically business’ like Worldmark, have adapted and moved forward in these crazy times!" #coopworks #CapUTourism #BCTourismmatters See more
