Connect with UCalgary talent
Students are given real problems to work on and valued just as much as full-time associates. On average, we can have around 30 students working with Garmin at any given time. Garmin Canada takes pride in giving students real-world experience, which will help them through the remainder of their studies and in their future careers.
