We have a few exciting paid co-op opportunities that have become available for BIT/BTM students who have completed their third term of study.

This is a great opportunity for our students who are ready to complete their Industry Project or their Co-Op term, and also open to students who are interested in a second term of work experience over Fall 2018.

For each of the three of the below opportunities, students will work in the ACE Project Space for an employer. Here is a listing of the available opportunities:

3. Open Innovation – Early Childhood Literacy and Numeracy Project 

The design and development of an adaptive website (versus an app) that will “push” out regular evidence-based messages with short videos to subscribers at no cost. To be piloted first with parents of infants aged 0-12 months.  If the pilot is successful, the intent is to expand the user group to include expectant parents and parents with children aged 1-4 years of age, province wide with additional appropriate content. Interactive elements will provide parents the opportunity to track/log their activity, resulting in “rewards” (e.g., high five) as well as reminders with the potential for other interactive elements either as part of the pilot or down the road (e.g., likes, shares, posting to Facebook, Instagram etc.).

Please contact Dan Greenberg – dgreenberg@rrc.ca or Steve Lawrence – slawrence@rrc.cato apply or for more details. There will likely be interviews for these positions.

All Term 1 students enrolled in an ACE program are required to attend.
