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.

Job Posting Deadlines

Co-op positions requiring security screening should be posted before Round 4 of each term. Please review the Co-op Important Dates page for more information.

Last Day for Students to Begin Work Terms

In order for students to complete the required co-op hours for their program, they must begin their co-op work terms by specific dates. Students who do not begin their work term by the deadline will not be able to proceed with co-op. Please review the Co-op Important Dates page for more information.
