Hiring Process

To hire a Co-op/Internship student managers must:

  1. Search the PSC approved programs to choose a program and/or an educational institution. Including several institutions in the area of selection is usually encouraged wherever possible so that the search results in a reasonable pool of qualified candidates. Consult the Co-op/Internships Co-ordinator (listed on the approved programs search results page) at each institution.
  2. Post the opportunity with the selected program(s). Each educational institution has its own procedures for hiring a co-op/internship student, which the Co-op/Internships Co-ordinator will provide to you. For convenience, you can use the PSC's Co-operative Education/Internship Program Request for Referrals form.

*Forms are available in alternate formats upon request.

Students will see federal Public Service Co-op/Internship placement opportunities on their campus notice boards or in the Co-op/Internship placement office. To be eligible, students must be registered with their academic institution's Co-op and/or Internship program.
