Information for Employers

Algonquin students make great employees.

Experiential learning is a key component of Algonquin College’s 2022-2025 Strategic Plan. We believe that an applied hands-on education is essential to developing the skills and competencies required to make a positive difference in the world. This is why many of our programs offer hands-on learning through field projects, clinical experiences, Applied Research Projects or co-op work terms with local employers. This combination of theoretical knowledge and realistic experience produces job-ready students who have a holistic knowledge of their fields.

Whether you’re looking to complement a student’s education by hiring a co-op student or expand your workforce by recruiting a student or new graduate, we invite you to consider the dedicated, knowledgeable students of Algonquin College.

Hire an Algonquin Co-op Student

Co-op students are available for paid, four-month, work-terms every semester. Hiring an Algonquin College co-op student is a great way to access some of Ottawa’s top talent and future leaders.

Co-op is a cost effective way to address short-term staffing needs while evaluating potential employees for succession planning. Your organization could be eligible for a number of provincial and federal funding opportunities to help pay for your co-op student.
