Co-operative Education
As an employer, you want the best for your organization. A Co-op student can make an ideal addition to your most valuable resource - your people. Co-op students are motivated, eager to learn, and well trained in a variety of disciplines.
Help full-time employees during peak workload times...
Co-op students can take on special projects, research, and other duties while full time employees attend to more pressing work.
Address human resource shortages...
Co-op students can fill in for full-time employees during vacation periods, maternity leaves, seasonal workload peaks, and absences.
Fill knowledge & skill gaps...
Co-op students bring up-to-date skills & knowledge to the workplace.
A fresh perspective...
Co-op students bring energy, motivation, and a new viewpoint to the workplace.
A cost-effective human resource...
Co-op student salaries are generally less than those of regular employees and Ontario companies that hire Co-op students can receive a tax credit up to $3000 for each student hired, each work term (4 month period).
A no cost recruitment process...
There are no job posting fees or other commitments required to recruit though the Co-op Office.
Build your brand...
Your Co-op job serves as a means of building your brand with potential future employees. Co-op students can also act as ambassadors for your company/organization when they return to the university.
A source of future full time employees...
Through Co-op you get to evaluate potential future employees without making a long-term hiring commitment.
Reduce training time...
When you hire a Co-op graduate into a permanent position you spend less time, money & effort training that new employee.
Gain insight into what students learn...
Co-op employers learn more about the things students are learning about business, industry, and various professions. Through Co-op students employers also have the opportunity to provide feedback to institutions on curricula.
