I'm excited to invite employers, entrepreneurs, startups, nonprofits, and organizations across Alberta to learn more about the NAIT Entrepreneurship & Innovation Summer Co-op Program for Summer 2027.
Our goal is to scale the program to support approximately 20 Edmonton-area businesses while providing students with meaningful, hands-on entrepreneurial and innovation experiences.
Through the program, motivated NAIT students can contribute to projects such as:
- Market Research & Customer Discovery
- Business Development & Growth Initiatives
- Process Improvement & Automation
- Strategic Planning
- Innovation & Prototype Development - Research, Analysis &Recommendations
Students are supported through a structured internship experience focused on entrepreneurial thinking, innovation, project management, and real-world business impact.

During this session, you'll learn:

• Benefits of hosting a NAIT student
• Examples of student project opportunities
• Employer expectations and timelines • How your organization can participate in Summer 2027
We're also looking for feedback from employers. Your input will help us better understand employer needs and create strong student-employer matches.
