Hire an MPP Co-op Student
As a long-standing and integrated component of the Masters program, the MPP Co-op work term occurs in the summer term between Year 1 and 2, involving a cohort of 30 to 35 students. The job posting and recruitment period begins in mid-January each year, and continues until late April, with most MPP students beginning their Co-op terms in early to mid-May. Co-op terms last 12 to 16 weeks, with payrates ranging from $23 to $28 per hour.
A wide variety of policy areas and issues interest and inspire students who want to apply their skill set in a practical context and gain experience working with federal, provincial, municipal and Indigenous government, civil society and not-for-profit organizations, private sector, labour unions and research institutes. Wage subsidy funding programs are available to qualifying organizations to support student hiring.
