2023 Co-op Employer of the Year:

RBC

RBC has been a key partner in Lassonde’s co-op education program for nearly a decade, providing more than 560 job postings and 90 work terms. The company has shown continued dedication to the professional advancement of students through each step of their co-op experiences – from initial recruitment to the culmination of their work term, ensuring they gain valuable skills and enhanced career prospects along the way.

RBC has also invested in many campus-engagement activities, hosting collaborative events with departments across the School and sponsoring student-led initiatives like the York University Robotics Society’s Computing & Mechanics Industry Night.

“Working with students from York’s Lassonde School of Engineering has been a fantastic experience for us at RBC,” says the RBC Recruitment Team. “These students consistently impress us with their preparedness and insightful questions during on-campus events. Whilst working with us, we can see how proactive they are with responsibilities and making an impact – bringing valuable insights from their studies into our projects. Their fresh perspectives and eagerness to learn contribute significantly to our teams, and we look forward to continuing this rewarding partnership. “
