Jacinda Flores at the 2022 Celebrating Co-op Awards
Creating lasting connections through co-op
Asper co-op student Jacinda Flores on experiential learning and giving back
Jacinda Flores was a co-op student with a plan: pursue co-op, make a connection and do her best to show an organization like Wawanesa why she would make an incredible permanent employee, all while striving to make a positive impact in the workplace and the world. Co-op was always part of Flores’ plan, and one thing she has learned on this journey is that the benefits of co-operative education and experiential learning at the Asper School of Business reach students and employers alike.
