I'm looking into going to college (university engineering grad) to gain some hands on experiance through some type of co-op program. anybody done this or know of any good programs?

Seneca has some programs for graduate certificates. They are 8 months with an optional 4 month co-op. I'm starting in the fall in Applied Electronic Design.

that looks interesting, do you know anything about the co-op program? like where students get jobs and how many of them actually get jobs? i don't want it to be like my uni where the co-op program was a joke, they didn't have any company hook-ups and you had to find a job yourself.

found this on another forum re the AED program:

"I would not recommend this program. The co-op option is useless. All the jobs that they can get are mostly technicians or even lower level. Those jobs are totally not related to the program. The co-op co-ordinator is not helpful at all. She doesnt care whether u got a job or not after you paid the co-op fees. "

too bad, the course looks intersting but i'm looking for a program with a good co-op.
