In response to this, SittingBull College (SBC) has embarked on a program, hereafter called IFYEP (Integrated First YearExperience Project), to incorporate a focus on soft-skills development into a cohort-focused firstyear experience. The IFYEP model can serve to enhance the cultivation of soft-skills without theneed for significant curricular change. Furthermore, this program model is capable of fostering aculturally appropriate learning community that helps bridge the gap between mainstreamacademic settings and the students’ collective culture of origin (see [8], [9] for background).

: How do students perceive the benefits and drawbacks of co-op participation? A. Both co-op and non-co-op students positively perceive co-op participation as providing in-depth experience.Both co-op and non-co-op students described the depth of experience gained through co-opparticipation as one of its primary benefits. The students attributed this depth of experience bothto the length of the co-op terms and to the multiple rotations with the same company. Theydescribed how this structure of co-op terms allowed students to become “immersed” in the co-opcompany and to learn more from in-depth projects. For example, Chris, a first-year engineeringstudent, wanted to “get more of an in-depth experience” and thus chose to pursue a co-op
