The University of Waterloo has long been renowned for entrepreneurship and innovation and for providing co-operative education (co-op) and work-integrated learning at scale with impact.
Dr. Margaret Dalziel and Dr. Nada Basir, both professors at the Conrad School of Business and Entrepreneurship, conducted a study into the mechanisms behind this success, revealing that co-op plays a pivotal role in shaping the ventures of student entrepreneurs.
Their research highlights how the unique experiences gained through co-op placements alongside university education leave lasting imprints on students - driving them to create ventures that build on the technological advancements they encountered during their formative years.
