The students also are asked to rank their job preferences. From the two sets of ranking, the matching of employer and student, i.e., the matrix is determined. After notification, the employer communicates directly with the student to establish the starting date, salary and other details. The time schedule for each of these stages is shown on the following page. Requests received later will be accommodated if students are available.
Salary is the responsibility of employers and is determined by their wage structure.
Students are paid at the same rate as regular employees with equivalent qualification and experience. Typical co-op salary rates are available on request. Details are available from the Co-op office.
