This research study explored the kinds of friendships co-op students make on work terms and how they are impacted by remote work. We also examined the impacts of these friendships on outcomes that are important to both students and employers.
Are you prepared to supervise the next generation of talent? Supervising emerging talent, like co-op students, can be a unique opportunity. In this session, you’ll hear about the latest research on the research-based 4C model to manage next-gen talent from the University of Wateroo's Work-Learn Institute, the only institute in the world dedicated to research on work-integrated learning.
What does Gen Z value most and how do their values inform how they seek employers and jobs? In this session, you’ll hear about the latest research on next-generation talent from the Work-Learn Institute, the only institute in the world dedicated to research on work-integrated learning.
To examine how co-op programs can create value for students and employers, this study examined whether work-integrated learning (WIL) job seekers are more attracted to jobs that signal a student-oriented opportunity than to those that do not.
Two previous co-op students designed a study to explore the emotional well-being of engineering co-op students during their first recruitment term to develop a better understanding of what aspects of the co-op process are particularly stressful for students.
One of the most important aspects in successful student recruitment is an understanding of what students value in the workplace.
Definitions of talent are changing to address work-related challenges (e.g. aging workforce, increased globalization), as are the practices used to manage talent (e.g., recruit, develop and retain it).
With partners at Macquarie University in Australia and Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand, the principal researchers developed a framework for the factors that are critical to sustainable partnerships in work-integrated learning (WIL).
Designed by a previous co-op student, this study explored how students perceived the relevance of a co-op role by reading a job description.
Exploring lifelong learning as a concept and how it can be measured can provide educators with clear steps for fostering this mindset in students.
