Internships

Co-ops are students who are formally registered in a cooperative education program at a post-secondary institution and earn credits from their work term to satisfy their degree or diploma requirements. Interns may be current students or recent graduates who are completing a work term that might not be necessary to fulfill any academic requirements. We hire co-ops and interns.

If you’ve graduated within the last six months from a relevant program related to the job you’re interested in, you’re welcome to apply. In this case, you would be considered an intern.

If you’re a registered co-op student at one of our partner schools, please apply directly through your school’s co-op portal following the directions and timelines given there. If you’re not a co-op student or if Kinaxis does not post its co-op jobs to your school’s portal, please use the application feature below on this page to apply.

We typically start the recruitment process for our student jobs four months before a term start date (e.g., in January we hire for the May – August term). However, students are encouraged to apply even earlier – up to a year in advance – by applying below and indicating your future planned work terms.

Work term length is position specific. Kinaxis offers 4-, 8- and 12-month work terms.

Kinaxis offers co-op work terms and internships all year round, in the winter (January – April), summer (May – August) and fall (September – December) terms.

That will depend on the timing of your application. Typically, interviews are conducted three to four months in advance of the start dates. For example:

• In January/February, interviews are conducted for a May start date.
• May/June interviews are conducted for a September start date.
• September/October interviews are conducted for a January start date

Co-op and internship interviews typically consist of one 30-minute face-to-face or web-based interview.

In Canada, Kinaxis typically posts its development and corporate services positions to Carleton University, the University of Ottawa, Algonquin College, the University of Waterloo, McGill University, Concordia University, Queen’s University and the University of Toronto. In the US for our professional services internships, we typically post to the Georgia Institute of Technology, Texas A&M University, the University of Texas at Arlington and the University of Texas at Dallas.

While Kinaxis does have strong and ongoing relationships with certain schools, we accept applications from students regardless of where they study. As long as you’re studying a relevant program to the job at hand and meet the minimum requirements, your application will be considered.

If you’re a registered co-op student at one of our partner schools, please visit your school’s co-op portal for a complete listing of jobs available for the upcoming term and apply directly there. Otherwise, please refer to the bottom of this page for available jobs for the upcoming work term.

You can expect to hear back from us about the outcome within two weeks of the interview. If your interview was arranged through your school, please check your co-op portal.

While we do have relationships with certain schools and regularly post our jobs to those co-op portals, we do not post 100% of our jobs to every partner school for every work term. If you’re interested in a team listed below but aren’t seeing the job on your school’s co-op portal, it may be because the job isn’t available for the upcoming work term, or it may be that a hiring manager chose not to post their job to your school. You can always apply through the application feature below if a job doesn’t appear on your school’s coop portal.

Once an offer has been made, candidates typically have 48 hours to respond before the offer expires.
