AIPP Work Experience Confusion

[dylan.nc]

Hi everyone,

I am currently living in Ontario and consider to move in Nova Scotia. Im interested in AIPP (Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program), but Im quite not sure about the work experience they mentioned.
I consider to find a new job in Nova Scotia, and apply to get PR under High-Skilled Program of AIPP and the work requirement is at least 1-year-experience, and "work experience acquired during a period of study is allowed" is mentioned on their guide.
My timeline:

• Jan to April 2019: Paid Co-op
• May 2019 to present: Full-time under PGWP (as apprentice NOC 7321)

Does it mean my co-op experience can be counted toward work experience?
Appreciate any helps.
