During the work term

Worksite monitoring

For students on their first work term, near the middle of the work term, the WIL Co-op office arranges a worksite visit with both the employer and the student to be conducted in-person or virtually. The visit allows the WIL Co-op office to assess the听kinds and听quality of learning, enable the student and employer to reflect on their progress and gather employer feedback on the student's performance and the program. Experienced students have the option of completing an online reflection exercise in lieu of a worksite visit; in this case, supervisors are required to complete a brief online survey. An in-person or virtual work site visit may be requested by employers and students not on their first work term and in some cases may be required.

Supporting WIL Co-op student academic requirements

For each four-month work term (including consecutive work terms in the same position) a student must receive a passing grade for their听associated work term course听and/or any additional requirements specified by the student鈥檚 academic program. WIL Co-op employers must support their students in meeting their work term academic requirements by helping them choose a report topic (when required) and by providing technical guidance where appropriate.听Please note that academic requirements may vary according to the student鈥檚 academic discipline. It is the听student鈥檚听responsibility to understand the academic requirements that apply and convey any needs to their employer supervisor.

General liability coverage and safety

Maintain comprehensive general liability coverage appropriate to your operations including Employer's Liability. WIL Co-op students are to be covered by Worker's Compensation in accordance with the employer's operations and government regulations for the region, province or country of employment. Employers must maintain a workplace which adheres to legislated occupational health and safety policies.

Unsafe Work听

The WIL Co-op office advocates for safe working environments and encourages all WIL Coop employers to be aware of the conditions of safe and unsafe work in line with Human Rights and Equity and with an understanding of what constitutes discrimination, harassment and sexual harassment. Students who feel they are in unsafe working environments are advised to contact the WIL Co-op office immediately. WIL Coop employers who seek guidance in this regard are encouraged to reach out to the WIL Coop office.

End of Term Performance Appraisal

Students鈥� final work term grades depend on their WIL Co-op employer鈥檚 final performance appraisal. Before the end of each work term, a secure link to complete the online appraisal form is emailed directly to the WIL Co-op supervisor. Supervisors must complete the appraisal and review it with the student before the end of the work term.
