WHY PARTNER WITH SHERIDAN?

When it comes to co-op and internships, we do things differently.

Below you'll learn about:

  • hiring talented Sheridan students for co-op.

  • Sheridan co-op and internship successes.
  • how to get in touch with our dedicated Career-Integrated Learning team.

Information sessions

In the face of a challenging economy, we understand that access to wage incentives is of great importance to many employers. Fortunately, there are several funding options available to help offset the cost of hiring Sheridan co-op students who can offer fresh ideas, creative innovation and critical thinking skills to your organization. Sheridan’s Career-Integrated Learning team held three information sessions the week of April 5 about funding supports available to eligible employers who hire talented students from Sheridan’s 50+ co-op programs. Didn't make it to a session? Not to worry. Recordings of each are available. If you need the recording in an accessible format, please email communications@sheridancollege.ca.

The Co-operative Education Tax Credit (CETC)

The CETC is an Ontario tax credit that is available to employers of students from many co-op and internship programs. The credit can total as much as $3,000 per student per paid work term.

The Student Work Placement Program (SWPP)

The SWPP is a wage subsidy program that provides postsecondary students paid work experience. Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) works with Employer Delivery Partners to provide student work placements and wage subsidies up to $5,000-$7,000.

The Drive Ability Open Doors Program

Funded by the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development (MLTSD), the Drive Ability program aims to address the skilled labour needs of automotive and advanced manufacturing employers in Ontario.

If you have any questions about becoming a co-op employer, funding supports, or hiring a co-op student, please email sheridanworkscoop@sheridancollege.ca.
We look forward to working with you.

We have no shortage of Sheridan co-op and internship successes to share.
