Prior to gaining access to the Engineering Career Portal, students are to complete the virtual PEY Co-op Pathway to Success workshop on Quercus. Once completion of this workshop has been confirmed, students will gain access to the Engineering Career Portal. This portal is the gateway to thousands of job postings from our network of employers worldwide. Students will use the Engineering Career Portal to manage the application process (view job postings, upload applications, view and respond to interview invitations), and to view and sign up for workshops, appointments and networking events.

To help students to prepare for success in both their job search and during the work term, The ECC provides students with access to workshops, events, advising sessions and more.

Our business development team is working with new and current employers around the world to secure both in-person and remote work-term opportunities for our students. While the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed many companies to adapt their operations quickly, employers recognize the value of hiring U of T Engineering talent to bring a fresh perspective to evolving challenges. We have also adapted our programming to consider the current climate in industry to help students succeed in their future work term.

Congratulations on a successful job search! Students should accept the job offer that best aligns with their career goals by filling out and submitting the required documents. Once students secure a position, the $975 work term fee plus the U of T incidental fees will be applied to their ACORN account in August 2022 to ensure uninterrupted access to important services, like health insurance.

The Engineering Career Centre is here to support students throughout the job-search process. If students have questions, please connect with us at pey.coop@utoronto.ca .

A big part of having a successful co-op work experience is understanding how to prepare for the professional work environment. As such, before students begin their work term they will complete a mandatory workshop called Transition to Workplace, offered through Quercus.

It’s time to shine on the job! Students can contact the Engineering Career Centre if they require guidance or support along the way. Students will receive an email with information regarding evaluations, site visits and other documents that they will need to complete and submit as part of the PEY Co-op experience.

After students complete their work experience terms, they will return to U of T to resume their full time studies.  The evaluations, papers and reflections will be processed during the Fall semester.

If students submit their evaluations, papers and reflections on time, the PEY Co-op credit will be updated on their transcript by mid-January 2024.
