Hey Ehmac members,
I am just curious if anyone knows anyone in the Architecture field preferably in the Barrie/Collingwood area that might take on a Coop student from an Architectural Technologist program?

As some of you know I used to do tile work, but as I get older it's just not something I can see my self doing full time anymore. So I decided to get my butt in gear and upgrade my math so I could go back to school in Barrie for an Architectural Technologist. I am just finishing my 1st year of a three year program.

The program has a mandatory coop, and you need to have a placement to graduate. The job prospects are less than positive on the Coop bank site, as well as cold calling, and other job banks like Workopolis etc. So I was just wondering if anyone knows anyone who might consider the tax breaks of hiring a student?

I am comfortable with Autocad, MS Office, and section 9 of the building code etc.

Cheers and TIA if anyone knows anyone in the business.

Thanks Sinc! Means a lot! If I was still in Calgary or Red Deer maybe a different story work wise!, but not sure what it's like out west for work these days.

As Sinc, I know no one in your field.

However, I would suggest getting yourself a Twitter account and following companies that would be hiring or trying to find the architectural community in Ontario. It sounds trivial, but you would be surprised what you can find on Twitter. I find that apart from the 12 year Justin Bieber fans, twitter is actually a pretty professional place.

Maybe try Environmental Jobs, Green Jobs, Eco Internships | WorkCabin Canada. They are a good job site.

Best of luck.
