I am!
and it depends on what you're doing - there's an outline of the different times for ITE according to the courses on the website

I don't think so. You do three separate internships during the 4 year degree. With each, you work for a different company and they each last 1 semester. So the internships occur during uni semesters, not during summer holidays - but im sure they have options for that if you're keen!

Depends on the particular program, I think, but quite a few of them do have ITEs during the summer. The reason they do this is so that you can finish your degree in a reasonable amount of time.

Most Co-ops make you work over the Summer.... that's the whole point of Co-op... to get industry experience...

are

are you kidding

the reason they don't let double degrees in the Co-Op program is because the scholarship providers basically run your degree. They don't want you not learning the things they want you to.

Every Co-Op Scholarship does full time work during the summer break for a few years and a full year for some.

Don't do Co-Op it isn't worth it

and you work for the scholarship provider
