"We have recently formed a partnership with Fanshawe in order to launch a co-op program within our facility. The Fanshawe students who took advantage of the opportunity while offering their services excelled. They were bright, motivated, capable and offered real value to the business units that they worked for. We look forward to continuing this program and are excited about the possibilities of how the program will grow in the future." -Employer
