The Co-op Office invites employers to recruit students each term. Coordinators review job descriptions, decide which programs are suitable, and post them on Navigator.
You view the job postings that are open to students in your program, and apply to the jobs that interest you.
During the primary recruiting period each term, the Co-op Office arranges all interviews, and you see your schedules on Navigator. Your interviews will be by phone or video conference, not in person, during the pandemic. Employers rank you and you rank them, and we use an algorithm to “match” employers and students.
If you are not matched when we announce the results of the ranking and matching process, you will start applying to jobs again. During the continuous recruiting period, employers may contact you directly to arrange interviews or offer jobs We usually give you up to 24 hours to accept or decline an offer.
You are also welcome to do an independent job search, in addition to applying to co-op postings. Before accepting a job you have found on your own, please send details and contact information to your co-op coordinator, who will decide whether to approve the job for co-op.
