Suit up with confidence thanks to an exclusive partnership between Arts & Science Co-op with Dress for Success Toronto & Dress Your Best Toronto
As an undergraduate co-op student, you have a lot of expenses. Don’t let the high cost of purchasing professional business attire be a barrier to presenting a lasting impression in your interviews and beyond.
To help with this, we’re excited to announce a new exclusive partnership with nonprofit organizations Dress for Success Toronto and Dress your Best Toronto, designed to offer Arts & Science Co-op students a suiting session with a stylist as well as free business outfits to keep (including accessories and shoes).
Registration fee waived for all Arts & Science Co-op students
In this new partnership, Dress for Success Toronto/Dress Your Best Toronto is waiving the registration fee for our students. Arts & Science Co-op students are able to make an appointment for an interview suiting session with a stylist, and if hired, return for an employment suiting session for additional outfits.
Interested? Here are your next steps:
- Let your Student Development Coordinator/Work Term Engagement Coordinator know that you're interested.
- They'll complete a form that gives you access to DfS Toronto/DyB Toronto services.
- Use that form to make an appointment. You can get suiting for a FULL interview outfit including accessories, which will all be yours to keep.
- Once hired, you'll have the opportunity to return for an employment suiting session for additional outfits.
- Lastly, by signing up for a suiting appointment your email will be added to their mailing list so you’ll get updates on events and their monthly men’s and women’s $2 clothing sales.
All clothing/apparel items are new or gently used.
