Placements

Students in the School of Business have the opportunity to truly launch their careers even before graduation. In the fourth year, students can select between a placement or internship practical learning opportunity or apply for direct entry (out of high school) Business co-ops or Business Accounting co-ops.

Trent University Placements are typically for fourth-year students and are unpaid, part-time jobs that last approximately one day per week for the term (minimum of 100 hours), with students receiving a half credit. In addition to some academic work, placement hours are required. Because the placement course is usually one of five in the term, students must plan their courses around the placement opportunity. Local placements are available in Peterborough, Durham, and the surrounding areas.

 

Internships are for fourth-year students and a student's time away from school (a break in studies) where students work full-time for 6, 8, or 12 months and obtain full academic credit. 

Co-op provides students with the opportunity to receive work-integrated experience learning that will help them get a head start on a career. The Business and Accounting Co-ops program supports graduate students in gaining a competitive advantage while gaining experience in a variety of industries. Co-op allows students to gain on-the-job experience, build or improve technical abilities, explore career alternatives, network with a wide range of individuals and organizations, learn from mentors and tutors, improve communication and presentation skills, and develop technical writing skills.
