Apologies; just checked my account summary and I was way off. It is not 8k it is $2,592.

Apologies for the unclear sentence, the engineering degree is 5 years, during which there is 16 months of mandatory work experience. The $2,592 is paid in increments across the 5 year degree. Which is in $324 payments each semester of work until the total of $2,592 is paid.

So if I understand correctly, you're asking: "if I already have 16 months of experience, isn't 7% a bit steep to help me find a job?"

The way we see it, no matter your experience level, especially if you still haven't actually been at a real full-time position yet, it's probably true that you can make your job prospects at least 7%+ better.

I would definitely say plenty of students we work with are fine and plenty capable on their own, but job seeking is rarely a binary of you're either fine or you're not. It's a spectrum from underemployed to dream job.

We try to get students the job that's the best possible fit for them, which is at least 7%+ better of a fit than they would've found alone.

TL;DR - It's not steep in the case that you believe we can provide you more in return in value.
