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.
Connect with your co-op advisor
- Send a WaterlooWorks message by navigating to your co-op Advisor’s name on your dashboard and using the “Send a message” tool (Please note: It may take one to two business days for your advisor to respond).
- Call the number listed in WaterlooWorks next to your advisor and leave a voicemail if you don't reach them. You can call any time, but keep in mind that co-op advisors have dedicated office hours for impromptu conversations with students from 2-3 p.m. ET, Monday to Friday.
- Book an appointment using the MS Bookings link listed beside your co-op advisor’s name within WaterlooWorks. Learn more about appointment types.
