Council's Mission, Goals and Members

In 1979 Co-operative Education and Work-Integrated Learning Canada (CEWIL Canada), formerly known as CAFCE, established the Accreditation Council. Council members from across Canada articulate and review accreditation criteria for effective co-operative education programs as the needs of students, employers and institutions evolve.

Chair: , Simon Fraser University

CEWIL CANADA ACCREDITATION COUNCIL:

An institution seeking accreditation must have at least one employee who is a current member of CEWIL Canada; institutions with de-centralized programs must have at least one member for each de-centralized unit
Each institution with accredited programs is invited to appoint a representative to become a member of the Accreditation Council. Institutions with de-centralized programs are requested to establish an institutional representative from among those with accredited programs
A letter is sent to the president, CEO or CEWIL Canada Board chairperson who signed the application for accreditation, copied to the co-op contact person of the institution announcing their application results, and requesting a council representative for the six-year accreditation period if one is not already identified in the application or in the case of a re-accreditation, already a member of the council
Prior to the Annual General Meeting, a letter is sent to the CEWIL Canada Board requesting the names of CEWIL Canada Board appointee(s) for a two-year period
