Why Co-op at D2L?

My second co-op as a People and Culture Coordinator at D2L has been incredibly fulfilling. At D2L, you’re never “just an intern”—you’re met with meaningful projects that make a lasting impact, even when your term is over. Every D2Ler I’ve met is incredibly friendly and dedicated to making your journey valuable, whether its through a simple smile or mentorship opportunities. The D2L co-op program is exceptional, fostering a supportive environment where we grow together through social events. With amenities like ping pong, VR games, and foosball, and social opportunities through our ERGs and multiple Slack channels, every day goes beyond just work to focusing on wellness, fun, and bringing us together as a community. I highly recommend D2L to any student looking to grow, learn, and build a career with a supportive network that wants to see you succeed day in and day out!

My first co-op at D2L as an end-user support coordinator has been an amazing introduction to the LMS and tech industry. I’ve had the chance to work with a team that gives me a good mix of independence and support, which has helped me take on meaningful projects and sharpen my problem-solving skills. D2L is constantly adapting and finding new ways to innovate, making it an exciting place to learn and grow. The company really prioritizes employee well-being and collaboration, which creates a supportive and fun work environment. Plus, having dogs around the office is a nice bonus. D2L sets a high standard for what a great tech workplace should be: dynamic, supportive and focused on helping employees grow.

The amazing people and learning culture at D2L inspired me to join and re-join the D2L team – twice as a co-op and later full-time upon graduating. I’m grateful be able to work alongside such kind and talented people, while also being part of a culture that puts so much value on seizing and creating opportunities to learn and grow.

I started at D2L as a co-op student and was hired into a full-time role right as I graduated. As a new grad, it was important to me to find a place to work where I would be given lots of opportunities to learn and my career could grow at a fun, mission-driven company that I could believe in with an awesome team. I have found all of that and more at D2L.

After starting as a software developer co-op at D2L in the summer of 2023, I delved into front-end development and gained valuable experience. Transitioning to a full-time software developer role provided an accelerated learning experience in full-stack development. In just one month, I absorbed more knowledge by building and interacting with developers than I had in the entire previous year. D2L fosters an environment of growth, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such amazing people. I look forward to growing and contributing more here in the future!
