External Opportunities
If an employer contacts you to connect with students, refer them to the Co-op Office for recruitment and job posting needs. Contact the Co-op Office at coop@algonquincollege.com
Internal Opportunities
At Algonquin College, students can study and work part-time through on-campus opportunities known as CSEP (College Student Employment Program). Algonquin College disburses a portion of its TFSA (Tuition Fee Set Aside) funds under the College Student Employment Program (CSEP).
If you are looking to hire a student on campus and have access to a CSEP budget, we would encourage you to post your jobs on HireAC. This will allow students the opportunity to view on-campus jobs more readily. This can be done in a few easy steps:
- Create an ‘employer’ Account on HireAC
- Indicate Algonquin College as the ‘Organization’ on the account registration form
- Indicate your Department name as the ‘Division’ on the account registration form
- Once you receive an email approval, you can post a job!
