ICM is your pathway to Western Canada’s oldest university, the University of Manitoba (U of M). With a strong legacy of excellence, the U of M is a leader in Manitoba’s knowledge economy with groundbreaking research in areas such as nanotechnology, functional foods and nutraceuticals, HIV/AIDS and climate change.
Practical Paid Work Experience
Following ICM completion, once you are at the UM you may have the opportunity to apply to a Co-operative Education Program (Co-op). Co-ops combine classroom knowledge with practical paid work experience to further enhance your skills. You’ll walk away with the training you need to set you apart when you hit the job market.
Students who work in the Co-op program develop networks and career opportunities that help them find jobs quicker and receive higher salaries than students who graduate without the Co-op program. Co-op programs are available in several areas. Visit https://www.umanitoba.ca/career-services/co-ops-and-internships for full details.
