Concordia students and graduates ready for employment

Every year, Concordia partners with thousands of employers to provide opportunities to our over 50,000 students for internships, part-time positions and careers. Concordia students and graduates are ready to put their knowledge to work for you. Our innovative programs in business, engineering, sciences, arts and fine arts equip our students with the knowledge, talent and skills to meet the needs of today’s employers. 

Concordia University is dedicated to equity and inclusion. As part of our commitment, we strive to challenge identity-based barriers while increasing access to paid, hands-on learning opportunities for all students.

Our career centres

Concordia has several career centres designed to respond to employers’ specific needs. Discover which ones are right for you so that you can connect with the best candidates among our talented, multilingual and diverse students.

Career Advising and Professional Success (CAPS)

CAPS will connect you with students and graduates who are ready to work in full-time or part-time jobs and internships. Employers work with CAPS, part of the Student Success Centre, to post positions on a very active on-line job board, organize recruitment events and participate in career fairs for a variety of fields and communities.

With CAPS, you can post positions related to the following fields:

Co-op combines academics with hands-on, full-time, paid internships, and gives employers access to qualified students in more than 70 undergraduate and graduate programs. At the Institute, employers are guided throughout the entire recruitment process, from posting positions, selecting candidates to organizing interviews.
