\n The Role of the Employer\n <\/h2>\n <\/header>\n

The benefits of hiring co-op students are numerous. Your organization is able to maximize its recruitment strategy by tapping into the best and the brightest students that universities have to offer. Extended periods of student availability will enable you to have students until the end of your project while assessing their potential as future employees.<\/p>\n

As an academic program, co-operative education is unique in that its rotation of study and work terms permits for integrated learning between theory and practice from first to final year. Your opportunity provides students with invaluable insight into the world of work both in terms of specific content-area knowledge and the soft skills necessary to succeed in industry today.\u00a0Students graduating with a co-op designation will not only have successfully achieved all of the academic requirements of their degree, but also have systematically assessed their
\ncontributions and performance in the workplace and consequently, their career objectives and direction. Your role as the student\u2019s lead while on a work term is to provide an environment for this learning to occur. This handbook is intended to assist you in creating this environment, thereby maximizing the productivity of your student and ensuring that s\/he is given all opportunity to complete a successful and fulfilling term within your organization.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n
