We strongly recommend that all eligible students continue to look for summer/co-op employment. Employment opportunities are posted on your Student Portal under Job Opportunities. You may also want to visit our Online Career Fair here. Further, continue to check websites such as Employment Solutions, Indeed, Wow Jobs and SooToday. It is recommended you go through this link to see if you qualify for the Emergency Response Benefit. I recommend International Students take a look as well. This is a difficult time for seeking summer employment.
