Co-op & Career Centre Events

You're on your way to completing Step 2 of the Co-op application process!

Step 2 focuses on preparing you for co-op job search success by completing three required sessions:

2. Resume Fundamentals for Co-op

3. Interview Fundamentals for Co-op

These sessions are available in three formats to support your schedule and learning preferences:

• In-person

• Live webinar (Zoom)

• Self-paced online modules through the Lassonde Co-op Preparatory Course (eClass)

Target Audience:
Students intending to begin their first co-op or internship work term in Fall 2026. Before registering, please complete Step 1 (self-assess your eligibility for the program).

About the Event

Location: In Person - BRG 125
Date: February 24, 2026
Time: 11:00am-12:00pm

The York University Co-op Program provides students with opportunities for paid, hands-on learning and valuable industry experience. We encourage you to visit the Co-operative Education website to review program details and confirm that you meet the academic requirements.

The session will cover several fundamental resume topics to help you prepare for your co-op job search including:

• Resume/cover letter basics 

• Employers' expectations in a co-op resume/cover letter

• Tips for resume format, content, and do's and don'ts that specifically target co-op level positions.

Live Session vs. Self-Paced Modules: What's the Difference?

Based on student feedback, we now offer flexible options to complete the required sessions. Each format has unique benefits:

• Live sessions (in-person or webinar): Opportunity to ask questions and interact directly with a Co-op Coordinator.

• Self-paced eClass modules: Complete the content at a time that is most convenient for you.

Important Reminders:

• Required sessions must be completed between February 23 - March 13, 2026 for your application to be reviewed.

• Already attended a mandatory session within the last 12 months? You do not need to attend again.
• Already admitted to Co-op? You are not required to complete the mandatory sessions or re-apply.
  • If you have an eligible work term for Fall 2026: Log in to the co-op portal and accept the terms and conditions when prompted.

We look forward to your participation!
