The Faculty coordinates the work placement process through liaison with participating employers. You will receive student resumes for shortlisting and coordinate the interview process, then select your suitable student(s).
Once a placement has commenced, supervisors in your workplace are responsible for ensuring that the Coop Ed student undertakes a valuable learning experience while carrying out the duties specified in the position description.
Contact with the Faculty is maintained throughout the student's placement. The workplace supervisor meets with the academic supervisor during the placement to discuss the student's progress.
