Several projects are road mapped in advance so that you have a guide for measuring progress
You have the option of selecting and switching between projects at any time
You can also propose a completely new project; consult with your mentor and/or subteam leads
Projects are structured deliberately to focus on learning and are often decoupled from key team requirements to avoid excessive pressure on a co-op student.
Projects from previous co-ops:
TODO Link to Past presentations
You are mentored by an experienced member who provides support and is on site
Daily scheduled syncs of at least 30 minutes and up to a few hours
Your mentor assists you directly with onboarding, guidance, and coordination
Opportunity to interact with other projects and members
Don’t be afraid to participate!
We don’t want co-op students to feel siloed on their own project
Copy Pastas
Because a lot of conversations on this matter are repetitive, here are some common copy pasteable answers to common questions we can use in text (Email or Discord) conversations:

Context: We have already closed postings for this term.
Question: Can I do a WARG co-op this term?
Answer: Hi x, Thanks for reaching out. For this current term we have unfortunately already filled all WARG co-op positions and cannot take on any more co-op students. If you would like to join the team as a member you are completely welcome to at https://www.uwarg.com/join though you will not receive a co-op credit and everything else that comes along with a co-op as a regular member. Keep your eyes open in our Discord and in the later cycles of WaterlooWorks for our future positings for future terms. Best, x
