Administrative costs

The co-op fee covers the cost of administrative and operational services that ensures Brock University’s co-op programs operate year-round. It is not a placement fee. 

This continual cycle impacts many of the campus resources, such as facilities, teaching resources, staff resources, as well as promotions and/marketing, and travel associated with securing employment opportunities for you. The Ontario government does not provide additional funding for co-operative education programs to post-secondary institutions, so this fee helps cover the costs associated with operating co-op programs.  

What does the fee cover?

  • Designing and delivering programming to prepare students for success in their job search, including early talent development preparation, job search training, career advising and work term preparation.  
  • Co-op job search support, including résumé and cover letter critiques, practice interviews and performance coaching.  
  • Developing and maintaining employer relationships to promote Brock Co-op students to employers.  
  • Programming and support to ensure students’ success on their work term, including regular follow ups and work term check-ins with both students and employers.  
  • Facilitation and support of end-to-end recruitment and hiring process for both students and employers.
