A co-op placement provided more than practical work experience for Bhavesh Lakhankiya.
Not only did the master of engineering student gain invaluable experience working at Diageo Canada Inc. in Amherstburg, Ont., but Lakhankiya also said he learned something that can’t be taught in the classroom.
“As an international student, this was my first opportunity to work within the Canadian work culture,” Lakhankiya said, who grew up in India.
