Co-op advisor
Before you start searching for your first co-op job, your co-op advisor will reach out to introduce themselves. Your co-op advisor will support you throughout your co-op career at the University ─ including when you’re applying and interviewing and throughout your co-op work terms.
Co-op advisors are aligned with each faculty and know about your academic program, co-op journey, transferable skills, and job opportunities. They are dedicated resources to help you succeed through your recruitment and co-op work terms.
