Christina Brimingham from Renous, Newfoundland and Labrador is in her final year of mechanical engineering studies at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN).  She is one of 22 MUN students with JDI this term. “This is my fourth co-op work term and my first with JDI,” said Christina. Over 40% of the students joining us this term are studying an engineering discipline, like Christina. So far, Christina says she appreciates the freedom extended to co-op students. “You really get the opportunity to flourish. When you need it, everyone is more than willing to help,” Christina says.

Kyle Foster, studying Industrial Controls Technology at New Brunswick Community College, is working at Lake Utopia Paper. This is his second co-op work term with JDI; last summer he was part of the team at Irving Pulp and Paper. “I came back for another co-op term with JDI because of the hands-on experience and I enjoy the people I get to work with,” said Kyle, of Barnesville, New Brunswick. “I think JDI stands out because you can build a career here.”
