"I am an Administrative Trainee at the City of Toronto – Solid Waste Management Services."
"The COOP-221 course played a huge role in my success. It helped me refine my resume and cover letter, ensuring that my applications were strong and tailored to each position. It also helped me build an effective LinkedIn profile and taught me how to network and connect with recruiters. I had access to valuable resources on interview preparation, including understanding how formal structured interviews work. The City of Toronto, for example, uses a question-answer format where interviewers take notes rather than engaging in conversation. This meant I had to clearly articulate my skills and experiences without much back-and-forth, something I was well-prepared for thanks to the course."
"100% Co-op provides practical, hands-on experience that goes beyond what you learn in a classroom. Since starting my co-op at the City of Toronto, I’ve learned so much in such a short period. I’ve had the chance to develop technical skills using internal systems like SWAP and TMMS, enhance my communication skills through email and voicemail management, and improve my organizational abilities by handling routing and documentation. The hands-on experience has given me a clearer sense of what I enjoy and what career path I want to pursue. It’s also boosted my confidence in the job market and helped me build a professional network."
