Alumni
How are Alumni involved?
As an opportunity to give back to the program, all Alumni are invited and encouraged to participate in the Mentoring Program to mentor our first-year scholars and help them grow and learn.
Our Alumni are often involved as speakers at many of our Co-op events for both future and current students to assist and help them grow personally and professionally.
Alumni are invited to participate in interview panels alongside sponsors, academics and the Co-op team to help select the scholar pool for the following year.
Our digital badge is for all Co-op Alumni, which can be used on LinkedIn to achieve greater recognition and visibility, which is vital for the continued success of the program!
Sponsoring
The ultimate virtuous circle – a Co-op alumnus creating another opportunity for a future Co-op scholar to develop into a successful young professional who may one day go on to do the same.
Many of our alumni act as sponsors now that they are in the working world. Some become our key contacts in our existing current sponsor companies, and others open doors for the program by championing the program at a new company or a company they have founded themselves! Our alumni at sponsor companies are our valued allies in helping us train, mentor and support our current scholars in the real world of work.
Becoming a sponsor is the ultimate ‘giving back’ contribution you can make to Co-op.
