Co-operative Education

Co-operative Education Program

Eligible students have completed a minimum of two years of undergraduate academic study and are available to start in January, May, or September. Haskayne Co-op students will readily contribute their analytical skills to all areas of business.

Participating in the Co-operative education program is a cost-effective solution for short-term projects and business cycle peaks. Co-op students complete a competitive application process in order to be admitted into the program.

Hiring Co-op is an opportunity for your organization to develop a long-term sustainable recruitment strategy by providing you with the ability to fill full-time roles with past students who are familiar with your business.

The Co-op position offered by your organization must provide the student with productive paid work that will help them build on their skills learned in school.

Co-op roles must:

  • Offer productive, business-related work to help students build on the skills learned in school

  • Have a supervisor to provide the Co-op student with guidance and mentorship
  • Coincide with the academic terms
  • Be a minimum of 13 weeks of full-time employment
  • Be paid positions
  • Must be with an established business (no start-ups)

In order to ensure our students have the best learning experience possible, key goals and performance expectations should be discussed at the beginning of the work term. Throughout the Co-op placement, please provide your student with ongoing feedback, mentorship, and complete a final performance evaluation.

Students, as a part of their work term requirements, need to complete a set of learning objectives, a mid-term self assessment (reviewed at the on-site visit), and a final project.  Supervisors are encouraged to provide on-going feedback to the Co-op student.

In order to participate in the Co-operative education program as an employer, your Co-op position must be approved by the Haskayne Career Centre. Once approved, your position will be posted to the Haskayne School of Business Elevate Co-op job board at no cost.

To begin the approval process please e-mail careercentre@haskayne.ucalgary.ca.
