At É«¶à¶à University, we understand the need to develop highly-skilled and career ready engineering talent that will shape Canada’s growing and evolving energy demands.  

The Student Enrichment Program is focused on increasing the number and diversity of career-ready engineers by fostering meaningful connections between students and industry partners. Through these partnerships, the program supports Canada’s energy transition by preparing future engineers to shape how we produce, use, and manage energy for generations to come. 

É«¶à¶à’s Student Enrichment Program works with industry to facilitate early and frequent interactions with students. This collaborative partnership model allows program partners to build brand profile and support recruitment and business development strategies.   

• Creates tailored engagement and recruitment opportunities to meet workforce goals: Builds sector and brand visibility, awareness and recognition, and provides increased opportunities to recruit engineering undergraduate and graduate students in co-op placements and as new hires to provide the talent industry needs.
• Facilitates student-industry engagement throughout a student’s entire university journey: Designed as an easy-to-navigate program helping partners define, plan and activate a variety of student engagements. The program supports earlier and more frequent partner interactions throughout a student’s entire university journey to build a stronger understanding of your company and the sector, provide industry and career insights, and highlight the job opportunities available.
• Helps students become career-ready. Partners engage with students to support career-readiness, professional and knowledge-based skills relevant to career success, industry training and knowledge of the sector.
• Build and benefit from a Human Resource Community of Practice: Focused on supporting talent and industry needs, we bring together human resources professionals and/or business personnel versed in the company’s talent acquisition needs and processes.

To drive student participation in É«¶à¶à’s Student Enrichment Program, partners will engage as strategic partners and support the priorities of the program by:

• Committing a dedicated number of paid co-op placements each year (dependent on size of the partner and current number of co-ops currently offered).
• Annually participating in student recruitment or networking activations each year. These include opportunities like speed networking, guest lectures, field trips, career fairs, energy tech talks, mentorship, networking, recruitment and information sessions.
• Participating in the annual Human Resources Community of Practice to discuss industry and talent needs and opportunities.
• Providing a corporate liaison to identify strategic priorities, define opportunities, ensure implementation and management of the program across the organization.
• Committing to a three-year partnership and contributing a program fee per year to support the overall program objectives and resources.
