Employer Co-ordinated:
This is when the employer takes care of the complete competition process. Usually, employers who use an on-line application process will use this option.
- Start with a conversation – contact a Co-op Coordinator to discuss the employer's needs. A Co-op Coordinator will be able to identify which program(s) would best fit that need.
- Notification of positions are then sent directly to the programs(s) of the employer's choice.
- The employer reviews candidates, selects students they wish to interview, makes arrangements and conducts the interviews and makes job offers directly to the student.
- Please advise the Co-op Office of any job offers that have been extended so we can ensure the student meets the acceptance deadline.
Co-op Office Coordinated:
This is when the employer has a job posting but would like to coordinate the competition process through the Co-op Office. Most employers use this option as they may not have an on-line application process.
- Start with a conversation – contact a Co-op Coordinator to discuss the employer’s needs. A Co-op Coordinator will be able to identify which program(s) would best fit that need.
- Positions are then posted directly to the students in the program(s) of the employer’s choice. The Co-op Office will collect the applications and send them back to the employer.
- The Co-op Office usually sets a deadline for applications of one week.
- The employer reviews candidates, selects students they wish to interview and advises the Co-op Office.
- The Co-op Office will then contact the selected students and confirm an interview time.
- Employers have the choice of using CNA facilities to conduct interviews, using a Skype for Business system to conduct on-line or telephone interviews, or conducting interviews at the employer’s location.
- Interviews are conducted by the employer.
- Employers then advise the Co-op Office of who they would like to make an offer to.
- The Co-op Office confirms with the student if they will be accepting the offer and advises the employer.
Student Co-ordinated:
This is when the student identifies their own work term opportunity.
- The employer provides a copy of the job description to the student or Co-op Office.
- The job details are reviewed by the Co-op Office, and if suitable
, will be approved by a Co-op Coordinator.
- A Co-op Coordinator may contact the employer if there are areas to confirm and to explain the Co-op requirements.
- Once a student is confirmed for a position
, they will be removed from further job competitions.
- Student coordinated positions are NOT shared with other students unless the employer request that the job posting be sent to other students.
