Student programs

Kickstart your career with CCC

We value student talent, aiming to shape the future and support our community. We hire students every summer to support our various teams and give them the opportunity to apply the learnings from their program in a fast-paced work environment.

Variety of roles

While we primarily hire students for accounting, finance, and contract management roles, opportunities also exist in computer science, communications and marketing, HR, and business development.

Hands-on experience

Our student co-op program provides great learning opportunities, with a variety of tasks and projects that will challenge you and allow you to build your professional experience. Students gain practical experience, apply their academic knowledge, and build leadership and communications skills through project work and interactions with our management team.

Opportunities for growth

These four-month work terms can be credited to your post-secondary school’s co-op program. Impressively, many of our students transition seamlessly into full-time roles after graduating.

Student feedback

"What really stood out about the culture at Canadian Commercial Corporation was the warm welcome I received from day one. My team and the whole organization made me feel like an integral part of the group. During my summer at CCC, I learned a lot about the complexities of international contracts and trade agreements. I found it useful to gain an insight on where I want to go in my career, and how the range of skills I'm currently learning at university applies in the real world."

Mikaëlle Asselin-Vachali

Procurement officer - Intern 2023

"With the collaborative nature of the people at CCC, it truly feels as if everyone is willing to help whether this is regarding a small task or explaining a more complex topic. The people at this organization really create a sense of togetherness in alignment towards a common goal - supporting Canadian businesses to sell to governments worldwide. The biggest thing that I learned during my summer term at CCC is the importance of clear communication, if everyone in a team is well-informed and understands the direction towards achieving what is desired then great things are possible."

Douglas Baldwin

Finance Administrator - Intern 2023

"While at CCC, I had the opportunity to work on multiple projects, including the redesign of this Career section of the website. I especially enjoyed the chance to take the lead as project manager, with the support of my team. I was assigned a "buddy" who helped me improve my proficiency with new software, and the staff that I worked with on the project was very supportive and cooperative."

Words from our student alumni

Georgia Fox

Project Manager, Digital Marketing

CCC is an amazing place to begin your career. I started as a summer student then got hired full-time once I graduated. Every step of the way, I’ve been met with challenging yet fulfilling work, presented with amazing opportunities, and made connections with incredibly talented people. Working at CCC has helped me develop my professional capabilities and allowed me to discover the career path that’s right for me. If you’re looking for somewhere to gain hands-on experience and long-lasting connections, CCC is the place for you.

Justin Christensen

Legal Counsel

CCC offers students real-world commercial experience opportunities that many employers simply can’t. The unique, challenging and diverse work students at CCC are immersed in allows them to reach a level of professional experience and skill development not usually attainable in other public-sector student work environments. My #1 piece of advice would be to not be afraid to volunteer for work on commercial projects or in industry sectors that interest you – even if it’s outside your comfort zone.

Sara Soulati

Export Sales Manager

Among all the things that make CCC a great place to work, there’s a rich sense of purpose that I find in my role within the Business Development team. Getting to interact with Canadian companies and foreign governments daily, seeing the impact at the source, and having a role to play keeps things energetic. Getting to do all of this alongside like-minded colleagues is an extra special bonus! To anyone just getting started on their CCC journey, I would stress the importance of curiosity. Getting to know the people in the organization is the best way to understand how things are done!
