SUPPORT A STUDENT 

There are many ways to support Trent students!  Your workplace could provide: a co-op or field placement, internship, professional practicum, or could simply hire students. Trent University has recently significantly expanded their co-op programs to meet the interests and demands of students for hands-on experience. There are now more than 25 co-op streams in areas such as: english, philosophy, politics, computer science, economics, finance, indigenous studies, and sociology, to name a few.

Careerspace is the University’s career planning, experiential learning and professional development hub that coordinates work placements. Please contact them at experiential@trentu.ca for more details.
