So it's a co-op in the traditional sense that while you're studying you're getting a work placement, which could lead to a job.
From an immigration point of view...I met a young engineer this summer in Ireland. He was a caddy at a golf course. Of course, with the way the Irish economy is, caddy was the best job he could get.
Do you have a success story about an immigrant engineer coming to this country that you could tell this committee?
