Security Screening
Many advertised co-op positions require that a candidate obtain security screening in order to be hired. To ensure a smooth transition for students to begin their work terms on time we kindly ask you to consider the following:
- Post your co-op positions as early as possible, to allow for ample time for the security screening process.
- Contact your candidate once you have received their acceptance to start the process as soon as possible.
- Keep in touch with your candidate to keep them apprised of any necessary updates.
If you feel a student will be delayed starting because of security screening please contact us at coopjobs@algonquincollege.com to discuss options.
