<p>I am no expert in comparisons between Canadian and American, but, in my experiences, the more prestigious universities are seriously lacking with regards to vocational training when compared to their, so called, “last chance U” counterparts. Lesser known universities, like Ottawa University, actually promote and intergrate Co-operative Education in their education system and account for co-op courses taken at the Highschool level, whereas McGill is known to be a “purely numbers” school with little or no regard for co-op experience.</p>
