Throughout your co-op career at Waterloo, your co-op advisor will be your primary point of contact for any of your questions or concerns.
Your co-op advisor may reach out to you during your work term for a virtual (online) consultation. These consultations are entirely confidential and are meant to help you make the most of your work term.
Some topics that might come up during your consultation include:
- Defining and achieving your learning objectives/goals for the work term
- Discussion about the Future Talent Framework and the competencies you identified to focus on for the work term
- Your upcoming performance evaluation
- What you've learned, how you've grown and where you can keep improving
- Your short-term and long-term career plans
- Information about the co-op program and best practices
- Tips for writing your résumé, preparing for interviews and networking opportunities
- Anything else you'd like to discuss with your co-op advisor
Remember: even if you don't have a scheduled consultation you can always reach out to your co-op advisor with any questions or concerns!
