Student Opportunities
At Circle of Care, we have two great student programs through which you can build your skills, gain real-world experience, and make a meaningful impact.
Whether you join our Coop/Placement program or our Summer Student program, you’ll get hands-on learning and exposure to the field, while bringing your ideas and energy to the team. Many of our students return for multiple terms or even grow into permanent roles with us, becoming valued members of our team.

Misbah P., Client Services Student
It has been a pleasure working with the incredible Client Services team! The warm welcome I received made it easy to step into the behind-the-scenes work that plays a vital role in delivering quality care to clients. I contributed to reviewing and updating policies, engaging with clients, and strengthening my clinical and therapeutic communication skills. I am thrilled to have had this opportunity and am extremely grateful to Circle of Care for everything they have done for me, as well as everything they do for those in need.
Charlotte T., Communications Student
Over the past few months, I’ve had a fantastic learning experience as part of the Communications team. The team’s guidance and willingness to teach not only helped me build new skills but also made me feel encouraged and valued. I’ve had the opportunity to strengthen my communication skills by learning how to compose clear, engaging internal communications content tailored to different audiences.
