Faculty of Science Co-op and Internship Program
There are many benefits to hiring our co-op and internship students:
New Perspectives
Top performing students can bring new perspectives and ideas to your organization/team.
Personal Development Opportunities
Current employees can improve their professional profile by training, mentoring, and supervising student workers.
Increased Productivity
Receive assistance from students to complete short-term or long-term projects. Students gain hands-on experience in the field, while employers benefit from having extra staff available to help meet deadlines and complete projects. Co-op students can work for up to 12 months and internship students can work for up to 16 months.
Find future Employees
Hiring co-op and internship students is a great way for employers to screen for future full-time employees. Employers can determine over the course of the co-op/internship if a student’s skills and experiences are a good fit with the organization.
