The Co-operative Education Program is an optional academic program that allows students to alternate in-school learning with full-time work experience. The Co-op Program gives students 12 to 16 months of paid full-time work experience before they graduate in their chosen field. Hundreds of students have been embedded within corporate Calgary over the years and more than 90% of co-op students graduate with permanent employment.

Learn more about how to get involved in the Co-op program.

Every month throughout the academic year, HSB faculty present their research or study findings to the general public over breakfast downtown.

See this year's Fridays with the Faculty line-up and register for an upcoming session.

Haskayne faculty are often called upon to help clarify stories as they develop in the media. They are also asked from time to time to deliver keynote presentations, facilitiate leadership sessions, or present research findings at public events.

The Jarislowsky Fellow in Business Management at the Haskayne School of Business provides students with access to professionals—and their real world successes and failures—each year through an executive-in-residence. The Jarislowsky Fellows are retired executives, from business and other sectors, who interact with Haskayne students and faculty for terms ranging from a few days to a full semester or academic year.  They offer career advice, provide guest lectures in classes, participate in the mentorship program and serve as ambassadors for the school.
