For employers

Our students have a diverse array of skills and abilities. Whether you need to develop a marketing strategy, conduct research, assess organizational challenges, manage finances, support human resources or develop new information systems, our students can play a key role in your organization.

Hiring a co-op student offers:

• A window on future recruitment. Many employers hire former co-op students, which translates into lower recruitment and training costs, and higher employee retention.
  
  
• A year-round supply of motivated students who bring fresh perspectives, ideas and enthusiasm to your organization.
  
  
• Help with staffing needs. Our students can focus on special projects, allowing permanent staff to focus on longer-term goals. They also offer relief during busy periods and vacations.
  
  
• A source of up-to-date knowledge, techniques and skills recently learned in the classroom.
