Co-op Employers

Tomorrow's Business Leaders.

WORKING TODAY.

Together, the Asper School and Manitoba businesses can help ensure a healthy future...for our students and our province.

Co-op studentsThe Asper Co-operative Education Program embodies our committment to providing learning that is relevant to our students and meaningful to our community. The program builds a bridge between theory and practice by providing students with hands-on experience in the workplace, and it enables employers to present themselves as a desirable organization in which up-and-coming business professionals can kick-start their careers.

The Co-op Advantage

The benefits of participating in the Co-op Program are numerous:

  • Integrating the Co-op Program into a recruiting strategy will provide an opportunity to get a head start on attracting commerce graduates trained in the fundamentals of accounting, finance, marketing, logistics, and other majors.
  • The rotational aspects of co-op allow employers to be exposed to students of different levels and a variety of skill sets.
  • Employers have the flexibility of selecting work terms to meet seasonal recruitment needs.
  • The Co-op Program will help establish a network with the business community.
  • The Co-op Office provides ongoing support by receiving and advertising placement postings, arranging interviews, and coordinating work terms.
  • Prior to placement, students will participate in mandatory professional development training seminars, including professional conduct in the workplace.
  • The Province of Manitoba provides eligible employers with tax incentives as well as wage subsidy programs.
