Top Co-op Employer Awards

In 2024, the Ted Rogers School of Management proudly unveiled its inaugural Top Co-op Employer Awards—a dynamic annual celebration of the organizations fuelling the success of tomorrow’s leaders. These awards spotlight the remarkable companies that have gone above and beyond to empower Ted Rogers Co-op students with real-world, career-defining opportunities.

Thanks to the support of our incredible employer partners, the largest English-speaking business co-op program in Canada has put an astonishing $188 million* into the hands of students. By providing meaningful experiential learning opportunities, these employers are not only shaping careers—they’re actively supporting the Ted Rogers School’s mission to create an inclusive and collaborative community dedicated to elevating business and society.
