What are the advantages to employers of hiring a co-op student?
• Co-op students are pre-selected based on their academic excellence and personal strengths, and they quickly become productive, highly motivated workers. • Co-op students are available for 4 or 8-month work terms and are a cost effective way to staff peak periods or complete special projects. • Co-op students bring current skills and knowledge from their academic programs to the workplace. • Employers have the opportunity to train potential permanent employees to their specifications. • Employers become co-educators with UBC, helping to shape tomorrow’s leaders.
