Hootsuite is a big believer in the co-op program. With around 15 co-ops per semester (50% from UBC) we see the value in growing and providing real-world work opportunities to the next generation of local talent. All our co-ops are eager to learn, and contribute not just to our technical roadmap, but are also big contributors to our culture. Seeing co-op experience on a resume shows me that a candidate is ready for the workforce, and it’s always a pleasure seeing a co-op return in a full-time role once their studies are finished.

I would happily recommend UBC Arts Co-op to other employers, and proudly recommend that RBC Ventures continue to look for talent from UBC for future co-ops and student opportunities. It’s been a wonderful experience and I look forward to fostering the relationship even further!

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada has employed UBC Science Co-op students on an ongoing basis to assist with laboratory and field activities…Students have been extremely helpful supporting honey bee colony maintenance in the field, sample collection and processing, and visual and molecular diagnosis of diseases using a variety of field and laboratory techniques…UBC Science Co-op students are enthusiastic, quick learners and a welcomed addition to our teams.

Our longstanding and valued partnership with UBC Co-op is built on connecting students with opportunities to find their purpose. Interns are placed across our various lines of business and work within cross-functional teams, making real contributions to the bottom line. We have dozens of UBC students join us each cohort and each one has played a vital role in shaping our SAP Internship Experience Project into a rich community that’s building experienced, inclusive, and dynamic leaders.
