MOS Internship

Companies recruit students and post jobs through Western Connect (formerly Western CareerCentral) annually from November to July. These jobs are reserved only for students enrolled in the internship program. Each company selects and interviews its candidates on campus and then makes job offers to the students through Western Connect from mid-February-August.

In addition to industry job postings, students may find their own employment through what is referred to as a direct match. Any positions acquired through a direct match must approved by Western and any affiliated campus to ensure that the position and employer meet internship employment standards and expectations. 

Many employers find that this program is better than a traditional co-op program, as it gives the employer a longer time to assess the student and the student is able to work on advanced projects and see them from beginning to end. The student feels that they are better motivated and have a well-crystallized plan for their careers after gaining valuable work experience and contacts in the industry.
