What Is the IT Co-op Diploma?
This program combines academic IT training with a paid co-op work placement in Vancouver’s booming tech industry. Over 2 years, you’ll master the core skills that local employers are hiring for — including:
-
Programming (Python, Java, etc.)
-
Networking and Cybersecurity
-
Database Management
-
Project Management & Agile
-
Technical Support & Troubleshooting
The co-op term gives you up to 1 year of hands-on experience — the kind that makes your resumé stand out in Canada’s competitive job market.

One of our IT Co-op grads, Yuta Miura from Japan, shared in a recent [video testimonial] (insert link) how the program helped him land his first tech job in Canada:
“The co-op helped me build confidence in a real workplace. I learned to communicate with clients, solve problems in a team, and adapt to a fast-paced office. Now, I’m working full-time in IT support and plan to stay in Vancouver.”
— Yuta Miura, Canadian College Alumnus
