How ocean technology innovation is helping build a skilled nation
Overview
Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) is recognized for deep-sea research and extensive data production, yet it also serves as a talent incubator, preparing co-op students and early career professionals for careers across multiple sectors.
This network of alumni extends ONC’s impact within Canada and around the world in fields ranging from earthquake detection and data analysis, to scientific discovery and national defence.
# On-the-job training with co-ops
Since 2011, more than 250 co-op students have completed 350+ work terms at ONC. Half have been engineering students—mechanical, software and electrical—helping to support the design and operation of ONC’s network of subsea, mobile, and coastal observatory networks. A quarter are in computer science, which isn’t surprising given ONC’s focus on data gathering, analysis and dissemination.
