Our longstanding and valued partnership with UBC Co-op is built on connecting students with opportunities to find their purpose. Interns are placed across our various lines of business and work within cross-functional teams, making real contributions to the bottom line. We have dozens of UBC students join us each cohort and each one has played a vital role in shaping our SAP Internship Experience Project into a rich community that’s building experienced, inclusive, and dynamic leaders.
