Hosted by:  The Ontario Chamber of Commerce

The Talent Opportunities Program (TOP) is an initiative of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce designed to help employers located anywhere in Canada hire college and university students on work placements.

The University of Waterloo is home to the world’s largest co-op program, mobilizing 25,000+ of Canada’s brightest university students from over 120 co-op programs each year (8,000+ each term) into the workforce. They are the go-to experts when it comes to learning how to attract, recruit and retain the next generation of talent. Waterloo students are drawn to innovation, new experiences and making a difference. For over 60 years, employers from around the corner and around the world have been working with Waterloo’s dedicated staff team to find the right talent for their business.
