��޾��ֲ� Ministry of Education Co-op

If you are a results-oriented individual with strong research, analysis, communication, and teamwork skills, then you are encouraged to apply for this paid, full-time Policy Analyst Co-op offered by the ��޾��ֲ� Ministry of Education. Successful applicants will not only gain invaluable experience, but also be granted a course credit (, O.5FTE) for the term in which they complete the co-op.

The co-op role includes:

Conducting research and analysis to inform policy development and program implementation.
Preparing decision notes, presentations and other documents for management.
Employing innovative approaches to policy development.
Assisting and supporting various projects, program evaluations, and studies to help advance Ministry priorities.

Eligibility:

Full-time student in the MEd or MA in Educational Leadership and Policy at OISE
Completed at least two full-time terms (usually 4-6 courses) by the start of the co-op, in good academic standing
Able to work full-time, Monday to Friday for the duration of the 4-month term. (Note that you will be enrolled in LHA1070H, but not taking other courses that term.)
Able to attend work at the Ministry of Education offices in downtown Toronto
Note: Acceptance to the co-op is competitive, and hiring decisions are made by the Ministry. Typically, approximately 1-3 co-op students are hired each term.
International students: Regretfully, international students are normally not eligible for the co-op. However, if you think you may be eligible for this opportunity, please contact UofT’s to confirm your eligibility before applying for the co-op.

How to apply:

The Ministry typically solicits applications three times per year: fall, winter and summer. LHAE will advertise these positions to current ELP Master’s students via email. Applications are due a few months before each term starts. Note that your application package is submitted to OISE, yet hiring decisions are made by the Ministry. Applications need to include a resume, cover letter, transcript (ACORN academic history acceptable) and three references.

Preparing to apply:

Students interested in applying for the co-op are encouraged to:

Take the course (strongly encouraged but not required).
Watch for LHAE emails to current ELP Master’s students about Ministry co-op position postings, as well as Internship Information sessions by past Ministry co-op students.

Important registration information:

Full-time MEd and MA students who successfully obtain a co-op position can request to optionally switch from full-time to part-time status for the term in which they complete their co-op. Please note that minimum degree fees will still apply. MA and MRP-stream students must maintain their full-time status once they have completed the defined length of their program or have begun their last required course (whichever comes first; see the ROSE website for more info). Students who remain registered full-time during the co-op are still expected not to enrol in additional courses in the co-op term due to the full-time workload of the co-op.
