Connect with Talent at Trinity Western University!

Are you seeking self-aware and life-ready individuals to join your team? Trinity Western University (TWU) students and alumni are equipped with a strong sense of purpose, dedication, and a desire to create positive change in the world and your workplace.

The Centre for Calling and Career Development (CCCD) is eager to connect you to our vibrant community of learners and invest in their impactful journeys. We invite you to engage in opportunities such as hiring fairs, work-integrated learning and co-operative work terms, workshops, informational sessions, industry insight panels, and more.

At TWU, we are committed to fostering partnership with employers like you. Together, we can shape the future of your organization and the landscape of work by harnessing the remarkable potential of our exceptional students.

Post an Opportunity

By hiring TWU students and graduates, you tap into a pool of talent possessing skills, qualities, and competencies for the future of work, making them valuable assets in the workforce.

To post your opportunity, we encourage you to utilize our Career Connect system. This platform allows you to post full time, part time, seasonal and *work integrated learning opportunities. Your organization may request a free account. It is the quickest and most efficient way to connect with TWU talent.

*Work-integrated learning (WIL) is a form of curricular experiential education that formally integrates a student’s academic studies with quality experiences within a workplace or practice setting. WIL experiences include an engaged partnership of at least: an academic institution, a host organization, and a student. WIL can occur at the course or program level and includes the development of student learning objectives and outcomes related to: employability, agency, knowledge and skill mobility and life-long learning. (CEWIL)

At TWU, these experiences are either coordinated within the Academic Faculties or the Centre for Calling & Career Development. WIL short term unpaid placements such as practicum and field placements are coordinated by the program coordinators within the faculty or school. WIL longer term paid placements like internships and co-ops are typically coordinated with support of the CCCD. Academic programs of study may require a different number of hours to be completed and be scheduled at a particular time of year.

BENEFITS OF HIRING A WORK-INTEGRATED LEARNING STUDENT
  • Students bring new ideas, fresh perspectives, and enthusiasm to the workplace.
  • WIL programs offer access to diversely talented and highly motivated students and sometimes aid in vetting students before the hiring process begins, which reduces recruiting costs.
  • WIL students are short-term employees, which can be helpful to businesses in temporary times of need.
  • WIL terms may be an opportunity to evaluate a potential long-term employee before committing: many employers choose to hire co-op students after graduation.
  • WIL students can work on a wide range of assignments, from specific projects to general support. 

If you are interested in hosting WIL students in your organization, please contact us at career@twu.ca. To post your opportunity, we encourage you to utilize our Career Connect system.
