    Employers and Community Partners

    Laurier excels at creating a culture of engagement and fostering supportive and reciprocal relationships between our broader communities and our students, researchers, faculty, staff and alumni. We’re known for our sense of community and the work of our exceptional community members – and it’s not just us saying it. Our vision is for all students to be engaged in career development and experiential learning as part of the Laurier experience and we work towards this through engagement with employers and community partners.

    Recruit the Best

    Whether you're looking to partner with us on a project or to fill a position with a co-op student, part-time staff, volunteer, intern or full-time employee, we’re here to help you access the skills and knowledge of the Laurier community.

    Enhance the profile of your organization by collaborating with Laurier's with experiential learning programs or postsecondary researchers.

    Navigator is Laurier’s online system for experiential learning and career development. 

    As an employer or community partner, you can post job and experiential learning opportunities for Laurier students and alumni. Navigator allows you to review applications, select candidates to interview, submit rankings for co-op opportunities, provide student evaluations, and more.

    Recruit Students

    Our Career Centre supports your recruiting needs for full-time, summer, part-time and contract employment, while our co-op program makes it easy for you to recruit and employ eager, qualified Laurier students. 

    Our co-op resource for employers highlights the information that you need to know from recruiting students to health and safety protocols.

    If you are looking to recruit on campus, connect with our Career Centre team to book a recruiting information session or on-campus information table.

    "Laurier co-op students have the skills to design programs and develop curriculum quickly. One student’s research into social enterprise was of such high quality that questionnaires, tracking and methodology were used as part of the pilot project for seven locations."
    Carol Risidore, The Literacy Group of Waterloo Region
