Student or Recent Graduate?

Imagine Yourself Here

Student or Recent Graduate?

Students and recent graduates are the future of our company and of our country. That’s why Vale has created custom-tailored programs for students and new grads. Because we believe in that future.

Opportunities for Students

To see whether Vale might be the place for you, answer these questions:

  • Do you want to get a head start on your career?
  • Do you want to find out about the working world while you’re still in school?
  • Do you want an above-average wage to help to pay for next semester’s tuition?

 

​If you answer yes to any of the above, then our extensive co-op and internship programs are for you.

 

During your term of four, eight, 12 or 16 months, you’ll work and learn alongside other students and Vale’s skilled professionals in any of our many locations across Canada. You’ll be making a genuine contribution to our workplace and you’ll discover the world of possibilities Vale can offer.​

Many of our co-op students and interns choose to start their full-time careers with us after they graduate.
