In a strong employer-university collaboration, Canadian e-commerce firm Shopify and Carleton University are giving computer science students the opportunity to split their learning time between the Carleton campus and Shopify’s downtown headquarters. Shopify covers the tuition costs of the Bachelor of Computer Science students, and pays them a salary for their work performed through the internship program. Students get the opportunity to learn in a creative environment where they can apply what they have learned in the classroom in a hands-on way, helping prepare them for a career after graduation.
