Hire a Co-op Student
Please note that the entire placement process for co-op work terms and interviews takes place remotely (embedded video on Trivio, phone, Teams, Zoom, Google meet or any other technology).
Hire a Co-op Student
The Trivio platform is used to collect and display all internship and job offers, by field, in one place. This web interface allows you to join the entire UdeS student community.
You can even hold your interviews directly on the platform with the integrated video tool!
Stand out
In a context of labour scarcity, it is no longer enough to offer an internship or a job to get applications. Even the most recognized organizations no longer have the luxury of betting on their reputation in order to attract young academics.
