UNLOCK THE EXPERIENCE ADVANTAGE
100% of AFM students are in co-op – for good reason.
While coursework builds your knowledge, nothing accelerates your professional development like real-world experience. Shape your competitive advantage, discover your passions, and build top-notch skills that get your résumé to the top of the stack.
