What are Other Employers Saying?
We are very happy to have participated in the LA&PS York Internship program. The program offers a selection of highly proficient candidates which have the skillsets that are required to support our team. Since the program allows the candidate to return for multiple co-op terms, this further provides the intern with additional opportunities for learning and development within our organization.

The LA&PS York Internship program has been very easy and great partner to work along with to ensure a great internship program for students. I highly recommend this program for any employer as they provide you support through the entire process.

The Internship program has allowed us to undertake projects that we would generally not have the resources to undertake, which provides for additional flexibility in the projects we choose to take on. The Interns can provide a fresh perspective that we can learn from as well. Our Interns are engaged in a wide variety of value add tasks and projects. They get exposure to multiple end markets and have access to valuable learning platforms. Interns also learn how to communicate information across various modalities from presentations and spreadsheets to social media. All in all, it's a win-win situation for both Celestica and the Interns. We would recommend the program to other employers.
