What are the deadlines?
Although we do not have hard deadlines, we recommend
- Posting jobs 3-6 months in advance.
- Booking events 20 days in advance
- Booking Interview space 5 days in advance
- Requesting event promotion 10 days in advance
Interviewing candidates within two weeks of closing a posting is preferable in order to ensure that candidates are still available and have not secured employment elsewhere. We also recommend that the hiring process be completed at least two weeks prior to the end of the semester.
What is a typical salary?
Co-op
- Co-op student salaries will vary by type of assignment, economic sector and sub-sector, geographical location, how many courses the student has completed towards their degree and whether the student has completed previous Co-operative Education work terms.
- There are various resources available to help you secure funding for a Co-op student.
Applied Studies
- As paid or volunteer positions, it is recommended that positions are compensated through wages, honorariums, or certificates
