Employers looking to hire a Sheridan student for a co-op or internship placement
Sheridan has facilitated work-integrated learning for students for more than 30 years and is home to both Ontario and Canada’s top co-op students for many years running.
Students bring new energy, ideas and skills to the workplace and may be eligible for government incentives to cover a portion of wages.
Each year, over 7,500 Sheridan students participate in work-integrated learning (WIL) activities such as cooperative education, field placement, internship, mandatory professional practice and apprenticeship.
Students gain invaluable hands-on experience while they apply their classroom learning, get trained in an organization’s processes, develop essential career competencies and complete academic requirements.
Sheridan’s dedicated Career-Integrated Learning team can walk you through the process of hiring a WIL student and answer your questions. For any inquiries, please email sheridanworkscoop@sheridancollege.ca.
If you are an employer looking to post a co-op/internship opportunity, please use the new Sheridan Works! platform to register and create a job posting.

Community organizations looking to engage with Sheridan
Sheridan is committed to building mutually beneficial relationships with local community partners to collaboratively address complex issues and opportunities facing our campus-communities in the Peel and Halton Regions for the greater public good.
We’re also committed to addressing systemic barriers to accessing postsecondary education for youth in our surrounding communities from underrepresented groups such as Black and Indigenous students, first-generation students, students from low-income families, newcomers to Canada, learners with disabilities, youth in or leaving the care system or young women in some disciplines.
We’re working to create and implement more community outreach programs and resources that increase access and preparedness for postsecondary education. Together, we can amplify our positive impact in the lives of local youth.
Our Director of Community Engagement and Stakeholder Relations, Karen LeMoine, is eager to connect with you about this strategy and how Sheridan and your organization can align.
