FIFTH ANNUAL

PEY Co-op Program
Recognition Awards

With the fifth annual PEY Co-op Program Recognition Awards, the Engineering Career Centre celebrates the students, employers, and ambassadors in the engineering community who contributed to the excellence of our flagship work-experience program in 2021-2022.

Nominate an employer or a mentor

If you participated as a co-op student in the 2021-2022 Professional Experience Year (PEY) Co-op work term (i.e. you started your position in 2021 and returned to school in 2022), we invite you to submit a nomination for one or both of the two employer awards listed below.

The PEY Co-op Recognition Awards allow you to express your appreciation in a way that will be visible to many in the industry. Why not build on an already strong relationship and compliment an employer who went above and beyond?

PEY Co-op Employer of the Year Award (organization)

The PEY Co-op Employer of the Year Award recognizes an exceptional partner organization that hired a PEY Co-op Program participant during the 2021-2022 work term. The recipient of this award provided a unique work experience and fostered a positive and supportive environment for a PEY Co-op student or students through enriching professional development opportunities. Because of the employer, the student(s) came away from their PEY Co-op experience with enhanced knowledge, honed interests and a head start on developing as a professional.

Kindly submit your nomination by 11:59 p.m. EST on Wednesday, February 1, 2023.

PEY Co-op Mentor of the Year Award (supervisor or manager)

The PEY Co-op Mentor of the Year Award recognizes an exemplary supervisor or manager and their commitment to excellence in mentoring a PEY Co-op student or students. Through a range of professional development opportunities, this individual supported the student(s) in enhancing their skills and knowledge, helped them overcome the challenges of the role, and guided them to make the most of their experiential learning experience during the 2021-2022 work term.
