Recruitment Process Coordinator

Description:

About us:

The University of Toronto, Canada’s top-ranked university, is a place of energy, enthusiasm, and passion. Our commitment to inclusive excellence attracts the brightest learners, scholars, and employees from around the globe. Our success has been made possible by the opportunity given to us by our Indigenous hosts to operate on their territory, and we cherish our continuing partnerships with these communities.

The University of Toronto has committed to an expansion of experiential learning opportunities for students, to enhance both the student learning experience and the University’s ability to support broader community and societal needs. Each of U of T’s three campuses are directing significant resources and energy into expanding experiential learning, particularly work integrated learning (WIL) programming such as co-op and internships. Our goal is to ensure our graduates remain amongst the most employable in the world.

The Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering’s Professional Experience Year (PEY) Co-op, the Faculty of Art & Science’s Arts & Science Internship Program (ASIP), the University of Toronto Scarborough’s Arts & Science Co-op and Management Co-op programs and the new UTM Co-op Internship program facilitate co-op and internship opportunities for more than 3,500 students from over 150 academic programs annually. These programs allow students to apply their academic learning in a real-world context, build valuable professional networks and skills, and explore career options. The five programs have formed a unique collaborative partnership called the Tri-Campus Co-op Partnership (TCP) that amplifies the strengths of the five programs, provides a seamless recruiting experience for employers, and expand the depth and breadth of work term opportunities available to TCP co-op and internship students.

The mandate of the U of T Co-op Hub team remains tri-campus in scope, ensuring that all activities and initiatives serve the equal benefit of the entire U of T Co-op community. The team is linked administratively to the Scarborough campus, however, currently travels and works at all three campuses.

This search aligns with the University’s commitment to strategically and proactively promote diversity among our community members ( Statement on Equity, Diversity & Excellence ). Recognizing that Black, Indigenous, and other Racialized communities have experienced inequities that have developed historically and are ongoing, we strongly welcome and encourage candidates from those communities to apply. 

Your opportunity:

Working under the direction of the Manager, Operations & Shared Services, the incumbent is part of the U of T Co-op Operations Hub which centrally supports the co-op student hiring process for all of the TCP co-op programs.
