New Students
You've been accepted to Co-op! Congratulations! We look forward to working with you. To move to the next stage and access co-op jobs, all co-op students need to participate in, complete, and successfully pass the steps below.
New Student Orientation (Online Course)
We’ve developed an online Co-op Orientation course in Canvas to help you navigate co-op. It is full of helpful tips and practical information to help you prepare for a successful co-op job search, get you thinking about your skills, future career and co-op plans, and more!
PREP FOR CO-OP (ONLINE COURSE)
Our online Canvas course focuses on fundamental job search curriculum, such as skills transfer, creating strong resumes, accomplishment statements, effective cover letters, interviewing skills, enhancing your competitiveness in your job search, and other important curricula.
WORKSHOPS
There is usually a workshop or workshops available to help ensure you are prepared for your job search!
Make the Most of Co-op
It is important to realize the commitment that is involved with Co-op. Here are some points that will help you to make the best out of your co-op experience.
Make Time: It’s a good idea to treat applying to jobs as an additional course to allow time for writing cover letters, researching jobs and preparing for interviews.
Stay Motivated: Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get a job right away. Some of the best co-op jobs are posted later in the semester.
Discover your Passions: Co-op programs help you discover your preferences before fully committing to a career. Stay open to new experiences and step outside your comfort zone.
