Find a student
Hiring and working with a co-op student is easy and we provide much support along the way!
Co-op terms typically begin at the start of January, May, and September and usually last 4 or 8 months. In short, the co-op process is:
- Develop a job description and send it to us: sscoop@uvic.ca
- Shortlist and interview your top candidates (we can coordinate all the logistics)
- Let us know who you would like to hire
- Meet your new employee and discuss your work expectations and their learning objectives
- Support their learning and work performance
- Discuss the student's progress with a Co-op Coordinator during a midterm meeting
- Evaluate the student's performance and learning at the end of the co-op term –co-op employers are co-educators so have input towards the student's grade
