In Canada, there are private colleges that offer courses called CO-OP. In these programs, in addition to studying and having work permission for the entire period, the student also completes an internship, mostly paid, at a partner company of the college, in their field of study as a required part of their education.
In the case of private colleges, unlike VETs and Public Colleges, the course options offered to international students are a little more limited, ranging from Customer Success, Business, Marketing and IT.
In addition to these, many schools offer 1 or 2 month courses for professionals who want some kind of refresher program, allowing the student to go on vacation from work and come back with a certificate in Project Management, for example. Are you interested in learning more?
