The MSVU Co-op Employer of the Year Award was established in 2009 to recognize the important contributions of our co-op employer partners and mark the 30th anniversary of co-operative education at MSVU. We are pleased to acknowledge co-op employers each year who have supported co-operative education at MSVU by demonstrating commitment to the program and providing excellent work term opportunities for students. These partnerships are critical for the success of our program.

The selection criteria included consideration of the work environment, leadership and mentorship, the supervisor’s demonstrated support of student learning, and the employer’s longstanding commitment to co-op.

We are pleased to announce the 2022 recipients of the MSVU Co-op Employer of the Year Awards.
