Do you need a cost-effective way to boost your development team?

You have senior talent but they need junior folks for extra capacity, opportunities for leadership, and new energy. Outsourcing won’t tick these boxes. More local team members is too expensive and risky. You have engineers who want to try to be managers, but aren’t sure about committing long-term.

What if there was a way to get affordable, local talent that supports students and creates a future candidate pipeline?

Your team is handling more, they are growing in their careers, and you’re developing relationships with universities. Your business is feeling all the benefits of working with co-op students: fresh energy, competitive rates, government support, and internal management opportunities.
