JOB SEARCH WEBSITES FOR YOUR
CO-OPERATIVE
EDUCATION
SELF-DIRECTED WORK TERM
In addition to applying for positions on Symplicity, expand your opportunities by seeking work externally with new employer contacts. In a Self Directed Work Term, you independently land a job with a Co-op employer who hasn’t hired an SFU
Co-op student before. This gives you the opportunity to build your network and pursue a position fitting your unique
interests, skills, and career goals.
Before starting your search, meet with your Co-op Coordinator and read through the official Self Directed Work Term
guidelines to familiarize yourself with the requirements that must be met for a job to qualify as a Co-op work term. Find
them on our website, sfu.ca/coop/assc, under Important Resources. When you’re ready, you can find the Self Directed
Work Term proposal form in our Forms section.
