Hire a student

Hiring a co-op student is simple, and our co-op coordinators are available to help you through every step.

1. Develop a job description: Send us your job description, or give us a call if you would like help. You set the salary based on fair market wages. We'll post the job on our web-based posting board and send you resumes of student applicants.
2. Interview the best candidates: Once you select the candidates you wish to interview, we will arrange an interview schedule to suit your needs. You can interview selected students at your office, on the phone on campus or via videoconference.
3. Make a job offer: If you find a suitable candidate, we'll make the offer of employment.

Co-op student are available year-round. Work terms generally begin in January, May and September but job descriptions are accepted anytime. Work terms are typically four months long, but students sometimes work for one employer for more than one work term.
