Did you have an outstanding co-op work term? Share your experience with us and your employer! Each year, Co-operative and Experiential Education (CEE) celebrates employers who go above and beyond to provide exceptional work experiences for co-op students. The Employer Impact Awards honour these outstanding employers across six categories.
For your employer to be eligible for an award, we need to hear from YOU.
Your testimonial as a student is crucial for endorsing award recipients.
