Recruiting and Work Term Dates

For your convenience, we have compiled a listing of recruiting and work term dates to help you navigate your co-op experience at Laurier. Further detailed information can be found in the co-op events calendar on Navigator. Note: Recruiting dates are subject to change.

Spring 2024 Work Term; May 1 through August 30, 2024

We have now completed the primary recruiting period.

Personal Job Search

  • You may conduct a personal job search any time.
  • Interviews we schedule take precedence over interviews through your personal job search, so please avoid scheduling interviews from January 25 through February 5.
  • Before accepting a job you find on your own, you must send details of the offer to your co-op consultant so we can decide whether to approve the job for co-op.
  • You may not accept a job offer through your personal job search between the deadline for submitting your intention form, 9 a.m. on January 19, and the time we announce the results of the ranking and matching process, on February 9. 

Continuous Recruiting Period

  • We will begin posting jobs for the continuous recruiting period on Friday, February 9, 2024.
  • If you are still seeking work for the spring, you will begin applying to job postings again.
  • During the continuous recruiting period, employers may contact you directly to arrange interviews and offer jobs. Please send details of your interviews to your consultant, so we don't schedule you for other interviews at the same time.
  • We will post jobs for the continuous recruiting period until all co-op students have secured employment for the spring.
  • If you receive an offer from an employer, please let your consultant know so we can notify other employers considering you.
