The Management and Tourism Diploma with Co-op Program combines an International Business Management Skills diploma with a Global Tourism diploma to create a dual skill focus, enabling graduates to be very flexible in advancing their careers.
• The International Business Management Skills (IBMS) diploma covers the cultural context of global management, creating global teams and networks, cross-cultural negotiation and decision-making, international management ethics, risk assessment and management, trade finance, management accounting, payment methods, and formulating global strategies.
• The Global Tourism diploma (GTD) introduces concepts needed to be a competent member of an international travel planning team. This program provides a background on tourism service suppliers and their social, cultural and political impact, as well as practical introductions to event planning, tour guiding, tourism promotion and customer service
Co-op students find work in a business related to their interests once their study term is complete.
The Management and Tourism Diploma with Co-op will get you working in Canada. You will gain knowledge and skills that you can apply in your co-op work and then your career.
You can opt to include LCC’s Business Diploma Program (BDP) as part of this Co-op program. The Business Diploma program will provide you with information about Canadian workplace practices, and support you to create a Canadian-style resume.
During your study term, you will complete the required coursework for the IBMS and GTD diplomas. You will also take elective courses to improve your English language skills and competencies.
Co-op work experience placements depend on many factors including the Co-op students’ language capabilities, availability for the host’s schedule, experience, and willingness to do the specific work offered. LCC provides a placement for every student who successfully completes the coursework, takes advantage of the free support services offered by the Co-op Coordinator, and attends the weekly workshops.
To assist students, the Co-op Coordinator identifies individually relevant hosts from the list and provides counseling, free interview skills workshops and resume writing assistance. Students are not limited to choosing their co-op work experience placement from a partnered host organization already on LCC’s list. If a student prefers a new company, the company will be contacted for further information and, if the company meets LCC standards (eg. showing commitment to enhancing student learning and willingness to respect limits on hours worked), its representative will complete a Co-op Work Experience Agreement for the company to be included on LCC’s list.
In this tutorial, you will review the strengths and weaknesses you noticed during your co-op, and formulate your future career plans.
