Employer Questions

Confirm your approved candidate by selecting your application in your SMApply account and completing the “New Employee’s Information” task accessible under “Your tasks.” If you do not see this task, ensure you have completed the “Organizational Signers” task and the “Authorization for Direct Deposit” task.

The candidate must be a new employee to the organization or have a new position with increased responsibilities within the organization.

Participant Questions

This depends on the type of program you are applying for. This will be noted within the eligibility requirements of each program.

Ask the employer to complete an Employer Application. Once they are approved, give them your approved Participant Application ID number so they can confirm you through SMApply.

Co-op Student Questions

Yes, you are eligible. You don’t have to be enrolled in an official co-op program to be eligible for funding.

Look on our job board for postings with the co-op tag.

You should also get in touch with the co-op coordinator at your post-secondary institution to as they will have more details on which employers are currently hiring.
