work experience in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors.
Co-ops are typically 4 months (1 academic term).

Internships give students an opportunity to integrate career-related
experience into their undergraduate education by participating
in planned, supervised work. Internships can take many formats,
including paid/unpaid, academic/non-academic and local/
international. Internships are typically 8, 12, or 16 months in duration.
