Recruit at DeGroote

This annual event will allow you to connect with DeGroote students from all our Co-op programs and allows employers to share co-op opportunities with seeking students, make one-on-one connections and showcase their organization as an employer of choice.

A direct opportunity for employers to build brand awareness, showcase their organization and career opportunities, and engage with high-potential undergraduate and master’s students in a targeted setting. Sessions enable employers to connect with talent aligned to their needs, share insights about their teams and roles, and begin developing a strong recruitment pipeline. Sessions may be delivered virtually or in person at our Hamilton or Burlington campuses.

Work with our office to help you organize a corporate tour. A corporate tour is an excellent way to showcase your organization, office space, business leaders, and for students to experience the company culture.

A meaningful opportunity for alumni to strengthen their connection with the DeGroote community, share their professional experiences, and support the development of the next generation of business talent. These informal, Q&A-focused conversations allow alumni to engage with a small group of 5–10 students, offering insights into their career journey, industry, and professional growth. Open to all DeGroote students or targeted to specific programs, Coffee Chats are one hour in duration, held virtually or in person, and scheduled around the alumnus’ availability. The coffee is on us!

Interested in volunteering? Mock interviews are a great way to give back while connecting with DeGroote students. Employers and alumni have the opportunity to engage directly with students through realistic mock interview sessions, helping them practice their interview skills while providing immediate, constructive feedback to support their professional development. These small-group experiences foster meaningful connections, build student confidence, and help prepare them for future recruitment opportunities. Each year, both students and participants share outstanding feedback about the event.

A moderated panel with experts across various industries and different business areas focusing on sharing their experience and educating students on industry best practices, trends, and careers.

Student groups rotate throughout the evening, providing participants with exposure to a diverse range of talent and perspectives. The event concludes with 30 minutes of open networking, offering additional opportunities for deeper conversations and connections.
