On Tuesday, February 11, 2025, the Co-op Awards Celebration brought together students, faculty, and KPU Co-op staff to recognize and celebrate the achievements of this year’s outstanding Co-op students. Hosted by the Career Development Centre at the KPU Surrey Conference Centre, the event honoured students who demonstrated exceptional performance, dedication, and contributions in their Co-op roles.
Co-operative Education provides students with the unique opportunity to integrate academic learning with real-world experience, and the award recipients have exemplified the best of what Co-op has to offer. These students have not only excelled in their roles but have also made meaningful impacts in their workplaces, applying their classroom knowledge, building professional networks, and showcasing significant personal and professional growth.

A Community of Support and Success
The Co-op Awards would not be possible without the collective efforts of Co-op faculty, employer partners, Melville School of Business and the Career Development Centre, who continue to provide invaluable mentorship and opportunities for students to thrive. Their guidance and support help students gain the confidence and skills they need to succeed in their careers.
As we celebrate this year’s winners, we also look forward to seeing future Co-op students embrace new challenges, grow in their careers, and make an impact in their industries.
