Work Term Placement Clause Samples

Work Term Placement. 1. General management of the work terms in PCOP is the responsibility of Co-operative Education. It is responsible for assisting potential employers to become involved in the program, organizing competitions for Work Term employment, arranging student- employer interviews and facilities, data base management, and for the continual development of employment opportunities. Co- operative Education will work with the department to counsel students, visit students on their work assignments and evaluate the work term. 2. Work placement is not guaranteed but every effort is made to ensure that appropriate employment is made available. In the case of students who are required to withdraw from the program, Co-operative Education has no responsibility for placement until they have been re-admitted to the program. 3. A student who applies for admission to the co-op program gives permission to the University to provide a copy of the applicant’s resume, university transcript and work term evaluations to potential employers. 4. A student who has been accepted to PCOP may obtain his/her own work term placement outside the competition. Such employment positions must be confirmed by the employer, and must be approved by Co-operative Education. 5. Students are expected to submit to Co-operative Education, within a month from starting a Work Term, a plan of the intended work that term. 6. Salaries paid to co-operative students are determined by employers based on their internal wage structures. However, students should not expect the income from work terms to make them completely self-supporting.
