Break out the record books – 2,789 jobs were filled during main-round interviews in June, the highest number ever recorded for a fall work term! More than 16,000 individual student interviews took place during this time.
This comes after a record-breaking spring term where 6,000 students were employed and the year-over-year employment rate rose 1.3 per cent to 96.3 per cent.
Cathy Richardson, service manager of operations with Co-operative and Experiential Education (CEE), shared her enthusiasm for busy days at the Tatham Centre. “I love the fast-paced, deadline-driven part of my job, especially when we have a really good match – there’s nothing more rewarding than that,” said Cathy.
Thanks in part to the Interview Day Services (IDS) team, CEE's record-setting interview cycle ran smoothly. “The greatest obstacle is managing expectations,” said Greg Mittler, assistant service manager at CEE. “We do our best to explain how the process works and make a seamless experience for employers and students alike.”
