The student has 48 hours to respond to the offer. Once the student you wish to hire has accepted the position, the Co-op office will confirm the placement in writing. The employer is also asked to send a letter of offer to the student with a copy to the Co-op office. The letter should confirm start and end dates for the work term, name of supervisor, location, hours, salary and benefits, and instructions on how the student should accept the employment offer. All students receive a salary for their work term.
Salary is the responsibility of employers and is determined by their organization's wage structure.
Please contact the Co-op office for more information. It is suggested that setting learning objectives and outlining expectations occur early in the work term so both the student and the supervisor are aware of each other's goals. The Coordinator is also available by phone at any point in the term to assist both employers and students in resolving any difficulties that may arise. It is recommended that the supervisor review this evaluation with the student. All Co-op students are required to submit a report at the end of each work term.
