How does your organization benefit?
- Reduce costs. Co-op students offer a low-risk, cost-effective way to recruit short-term employees to complete special projects and support peak work periods.
- Access to top candidates. Screen full-time employees so you can feel confident you’re getting the best candidate for the job.
- Add to your talent pipeline. Find star employees to hire after graduation. Throughout the co-op term, you can assess students’ skill sets and test for culture-add within your organization.
- Add fresh perspectives and new ideas. Co-op students bring a fresh perspective to an organization. They are learning new technologies, new skill sets, and provide innovative approaches that set them apart from other candidates.
- Get work done. Students are available year-round for 4, 8, 12, or 16-month work terms (depending on the program), allowing ample time for students to be productive and valuable employees after they are trained.
- Recruit with ease. We promote your jobs, coordinate and schedule your interviews, and provide on-campus interview rooms, if needed. When you become an employer partner of the University of Windsor, you also work with an expert advisor to assist you throughout the process.
“With the world of technology always changing, co-op students bring in new knowledge and a fresh perspective to our company. Hiring co-op students is also part of our hiring and talent pipeline strategy, giving us the opportunity to evaluate their skills while they are with us.”
- Sanela Stefanovski, Team Leader, Technology Operations at Rocket Innovation Studio
