\n Co-op Salary Survey\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

As young professionals, co-op students seek fair and competitive wages. You, the employer, set the wages for your co-op student during their work term. Our salary survey is displayed by program discipline and level and represents the hourly salaries reported for work terms from 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you hire a co-op student, you may qualify for additional funding <\/a>, subsidies or tax credits<\/a>. Find out about financial assistance to help offset some of the cost of hiring a Carleton co-op student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-op students are not included under the Ontario Employment Standards Act. While employers are not required to give co-op students vacation pay, statutory holiday pay, or overtime pay, most include compensation for these as part of the student\u2019s salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
