Hire a Student
Employers have a variety of options when it comes to hiring for full-time, part-time and volunteer positions and we can help you promote positions to our current students and graduates.
- Current Students
- Lambton College is always looking for employers to hire co-op students and to post part-time jobs to assist our students financially. In addition, you can also partner with us by becoming a placement provider.
- Graduates
- As a community college, we want our graduates to find employment locally and we want to make sure our employers are satisfied with the work of our graduates. We make hiring graduates easier by helping you access Grants & Incentives and by assisting our International students through services offered by the International Graduate Services & Support Centre.

Assistance with Co-op Hiring
The Co-op & Career Services department works closely with employers by playing an active role in assisting co-op employers with several recruitment strategies, including:
Determining your needs
Employers can work directly with our job developer to discuss hiring needs, learn about our various co-op programs, and discuss your options to ensure your hiring needs are met.
Preparing job descriptions
Our job developer can guide you through the job posting process. This includes determining programs of interest, position requirements, and ensuring all job posting details are included, such as application method, posting deadline, and any information that will help you find the best candidate for your position.
Approving and posting positions
All co-op and career postings will be reviewed by our job developer prior to approval. This process ensures the required information is provided, postings meet our co-op policies, and all relevant and desired programs are targeted to attract the right students for the positions.

Become a Placement Provider
Many of Lambton College's health and community services programs require placements as part of the program requirements. Being a placement provider allows you to be a part of the education process and to ensure our students are equipped with the skills to succeed when they graduate.
Becoming a placement provider begins with completing a Provider Application Form. Our Placement Liaison will work with you every step of the way to ensure you have what you need and are happy with your placement opportunity.
