The staff works to create relevant and exciting work placements for students in the program. They also encourage students to partake in an self-directed job search when they wish to return home for placements or relocate to a particular area. The following links are here to assist students who wish to search on their own.
If you locate an employer who is interested in hiring you as a co-op student, contact the co-op office immediately. The co-op staff must review the job description and contact the employer to ensure the job meets co-op job requirements. If the job is rejected, the Co-op staff will work with the employer and recommend changes to the job tasks.
