Salaries depend upon the type of work assignment and the student’s experience. Please consult the table below for the hourly wages* for Institute for Cooperative Education students for January-December 2023. We encourage overseas employers to pay salaries in accordance with their industry norms.
Note: Quebec's minimum wages historically increase on May 1st of each year.
