If you are a current student, you can take advantage of our successful Student Program and become a Co-op Student, Intern Student, or Summer Student (Developmental or Non-Developmental Student), gaining valuable work experience during your term here.

Whichever you choose, you will gain valuable experience and an insight into a career at OPG. Please visit the following brochure to get more information on the Student Program and the Process to Apply for a position here at OPG.

Co-op Students

As a Co-op Student, you will find out first-hand what it's really like working in a large corporation that is part of a rapidly growing industry. You'll be given projects that will allow you to grow personally and professionally, as well the opportunity to network with fellow students and be mentored by highly qualified professionals. If you are enrolled as a full-time student in an accredited college or university and are interested in a career that fulfills a need at OPG, you could be doing real work and earning a real salary while you learn an invaluable lesson with us.

To apply, you will need to put together a cover letter and résumé that outline your objectives and experience, and how your skills, interests and coursework would make you a prime candidate for a position at OPG. Once you have done that, contact your university or college Co-op Program Administrator, check our virtual career centre on this site frequently for the latest job postings and prepare to attend one of our many on-campus events. When a job comes up that matches your skills, we will contact you and arrange an interview with an OPG Manager or Hiring Supervisor. They will assess your knowledge and skills and determine how you would fit in and what you can offer us. You must have a definite objective in mind and be able to provide good reasons as to why we should offer you a job.

Below is our typical on-campus recruiting calendar.

Summer Term: January
Fall Term: May
Winter Term: September

Intern Students

Intern Students are generally recruited to begin employment with us in May; postings are typically available at our website in November/December. As an Intern, you spend 12 -15 months gaining work experience that is directly related to your major field of study and proved hands-on experience. Interns are usually hired into our engineering and production-related areas and opportunities are thus limited to Students enrolled in engineering or related studies. Interns are recruited through University Career Centres and usually following completion of 3rd year of studies.

Summer Students

Developmental Students will typically perform work related to their field of study during the summer term.

Non-Developmental Students are usually hired during the summer term and perform a variety of tasks (including Administrative, Clerical and Janitorial), and are not typically related to the student's field of study.
