Step 3 - Secure a Placement

Start your job search

Access the co-op student job board on educationthatworks.ca

• Email your program’s employment assistant at the beginning of the term preceding your desired work term. For example, if you would like to complete a Summer work term you would need to email the co-op office at the start of the Winter term.
• Upon fulfilling the admission requirements and accepting the co-op terms and conditions on the co-op dashboard on the Co-op and Career Portal, you'll gain access to the co-op job posting board where you'll find co-op and internship positions in local and national industries.
• If you are planning on completing multiple co-ops, you will need to complete this process each time.

Consult your employment facilitator

Consult with your employment facilitator or Co-op and Internship coordinator for guidance on self-developing a position or converting an existing position to a credited work term.

• Student developed positions may be eligible for work term credit and you are encouraged to self-develop work term positions.
• Once you have secured a position, make sure to let your employment facilitator know immediately and verify your registration status.
