There are two ways to find a Co-op work term — both are supported by the Co-op Office:

🔹 Option 1: Apply through the Acadia Co-op Portal

  • Complete your professional development workshops

  • Get your resume and cover letter approved by a Co-op Coordinator

  • You’ll then gain access to the Co-op Portal, where you can apply for jobs posted by the Co-op Office

🔹 Option 2: Find your own work term

  • The job must be full-time, paid, related to your degree, and at least 12 weeks long

  • Submit the job description to your Co-op Coordinator for approval

  • Once accepted, the employer must provide an offer letter to the Co-op Office

✅ Your Co-op Coordinator will help guide you through either path and ensure your placement meets program standards.
