Trent University Placements

Trent University in Peterborough and Durham GTA quietly delivers some of the strongest post-graduation outcomes for Indian students among mid-sized Canadian universities, and Overseas Education Consultants in India track the numbers year after year. The dual-campus setup sits just 90 minutes from Toronto, so students snag co-op placements in the GTA's finance hubs, environmental consultancies, and tech startups while basing out of cheaper Peterborough (rent CAD 800-1,200/month versus CAD 2,000+ downtown). 

Every student gets guaranteed experiential learning, like the three paid co-op terms in Business Administration (12-16 weeks each, often CAD 20-25/hour) or the 12-month internship in Forensic Science, that builds Canadian work history right into the degree. For internationals, the co-op work permit (COWP) is straightforward if the program letter confirms it's essential, and Overseas Education Consultants in India see approvals in 4-6 weeks when bundled with the study permit.

CareerSpace runs employer job fairs twice a semester, plus one-on-one resume tweaks and mock interviews tailored for Indian profiles, which help land roles at places like RBC, Deloitte, or provincial ministries. In the past couple of years, over 85% of Indian grads who chased full-time offers had them within six months, many in sustainability or analytics fields where Trent's #2 Maclean's ranking shines.

That Canadian experience boosts CRS scores for Express Entry, plenty clear the 470+ cutoff with age points and one year of skilled work. For families eyeing PR pathways without Toronto's cut-throat job hunt, Trent's hands-on edge and 3-year PGWP eligibility make it a smart, low-stress bet that pays off long after the cap and gown.
