Co-op Alumni Testimonials
Here’s what our past co-ops have to say about their experience at LCBO|next and the valuable skills they acquired during their term.
"I learnt more in the LCBO|next lab that I could have ever imagined - it is fast paced, collaborative, and truly engaging! Rapid prototyping sprints enable the team to design and develop truly impactful products that meet business, technical, and user needs."
3B Global Business and Digital Arts
"It was such an amazing experience filled with great people and awesome learning opportunities. You really get to contribute to the technical design of the products, transcendent of just the code, which were skills I was able to apply to other careers. The people, both other coops and management, also made the experience quite memorable and made me excited everyday to come to work."

"LCBO|next was an incredibly enriching experience that provided me with the support of a big company in the environment of a startup. This meant that I was able to learn new, exciting technologies whilst making an impact to the corporation as a whole!"
Kevin Pei
2A Computer Science
"Working at the lab was one of my best decisions! I had so much fun working with other cool co-ops and full timers. The co-ops even had a monthly lunch at Kinkaku together! My design skills had also improved a lot by the end of term as I learned so much about design from the various projects I worked on."
Mudmie Chuthamsatid
2A Systems Design Engineering
"The lab provided me an opportunity to learn and develop projects from the ground up. I was in control of 100% of the project I worked on, and that gave me an immense out of freedom. I also played a LOT of table tennis (or ping pong for the unaware) and got extremely good at it by the end of the term. It was a lot of fun and a great learning experience."
Aditya Arora

"Throughout my time at LCBO|next, I was able to work with a lot of different products and gain exposure to different technology stacks which allowed me gain a deep understanding of web services.
1B Systems Design Engineering
"LCBO|next was definitely the first time I got to experience an environment which moves very fast. I really enjoyed working with other coops and Danny. Everyone was very supportive and I had an awesome experience!"
2B Computer Science
Working at LCBO|next as a UI/UX Designer allowed me to learn about designing visual user interfaces for applications, voice user interfaces, and digital screen displays! I was able to learn a lot about the design process, creating journey maps, and how to deliver persuading presentations. On top of that, I got to explore and strengthen my front-end development skills by learning React and node.js and bring my designs to life!
