Co-op Employers on the Student Experience Portal
Co-op employers will utilize the Student Experience Portal to post their co-op jobs on our Co-op Job Board. Please watch this video or view the text guide for detailed instructions on how to set up your employer account on the Student Experience Portal and post on the Co-op Job Board. Information about hiring timelines, employer and student responsibilities, and tax credit letter information is also shared in the video and text guide.
Please note that not all co-op programs at Trent are using the Student Experience Portal. For inquiries about the Business, Accounting, Economics, or Conservation Biology co-op programs, please contact the respective Co-op Coordinator as seen on the Contact Us page.
