TD Bank Group and students honoured for contributions in co-operative education

Hosting 62 UWindsor co-op students in 2022 and 60 more in 2023 makes the TD Bank Group a worthy recipient of the Co-op & Internship Employer of the Year Award from the Office of Co-operative Education and Workplace Partnerships, according to manager Kristen Morris.

“Those are incredible numbers and we are very grateful to have this partnership that is intrinsic to our work-integrated learning program,” she said. “We’re happy to celebrate and recognize TD’s commitment to the University of Windsor and want to say thank you for believing in the benefit of hiring our students.”

Job shadow experience gives students a glimpse into future careers

UWindsor students looking to gain insight into potential career paths had the unique opportunity to shadow professionals at their jobs for the day through the Job Shadow Experience, a career exploration program offered through the Office of Career Development and Experiential Learning (CDEL) during Reading Week.

This year’s hosts shared valuable career advice and planned engaging activities to help students learn about the intricacies of the occupation and the skills required to succeed in the industry.
