Why Choose TRU Co-op?



Thompson Rivers University's Co-operative Education Program links highly motivated students with employers in various fields. Co-op is a valuable, flexible, cost-effective partnership between employers, educators and students.

TRU has a proven and experienced Co-op program that offers outstanding recruitment services to your organization.

Our Co-op Coordinators assist organizations with finding the most suitable candidate for work terms starting in May, September, or January, for 4, 8 or 12 months. The TRU Co-op Program will post your position, organize and host multiple forms of interviews, assist with follow-up and offers of employment. There are no fees for these services.

Other Benefits of hiring Co-op:

  • Flexible access to a pre-screened talented pool of students who will bring a positive attitude towards working and learning.
  • Cost-effective and efficient means of evaluating prospective future employees' potential.
  • Optimal workforce management utilizing Co-op students to fill temporary job openings, work on specific projects, free up permanent staff for other projects or ease the load during the busy season.
  • Co-op students bring a high level of energy and enthusiasm, and provide fresh perspective and new ideas.
  • Co-op students often have advanced computer skills they can transfer to permanent staff
