Meet some of our students
“From my very first day at Eclipse, I was assigned real work that made an impact on supply chain operations.”
“As a co-op student, I wanted hands-on experience that would prepare me for my career, and Eclipse provided exactly that and more. I was fortunate to receive incredible mentorship from the supply chain team, working alongside knowledgeable industry experts who were always willing to guide me. One of the highlights of my term was being trusted to create and manage a high-value purchase order, owning the process from start to finish. This experience not only helped me grow professionally but also gave me the confidence to take on new challenges. I would highly recommend any student to consider Eclipse for their co-op journey!”
Muhammad A. – Supply Chain Coordinator Co-op, Guelph University
“During my co-op at Eclipse, I worked on meaningful projects while learning in an environment that consistently supported my growth.”
“What I enjoyed the most was the culture of collaboration, where everyone was always willing to answer questions and share their advice. I always felt encouraged to contribute my ideas and take on new challenges. This made it easy to expand both professionally and personally; while also gaining confidence in applying the knowledge I had learned at university. Contributing to projects across different teams helped me understand how my work aligned with larger goals and provided me with truly valuable experience.”
Sandra E. – Business Development Coordinator Co-op, University of Waterloo
“I remember looking for co-ops last year and being asked in my interviews, “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” I couldn’t give a good answer then because I honestly didn’t know yet.”
“But after my 8 months at Eclipse, my career path is so much clearer, and it’s given me a newfound motivation to pursue what I’m interested in. This co-op exposed me to all different sides of the automation industry, which allowed me to discover my passion and explore what excited me. This was reflected in the work where creativity and innovation in our projects were not just encouraged, they were fostered by the incredible leadership in the department. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Eclipse Automation and all the people I interacted with throughout my time there.”
Jacob K. – Automation Service Solutions Co-op, McMaster University
