Protocase Training & Development Co-Op - Fall 2026

Location: Sydney, NS Term: 16-week work term, full time Type: In-Office Only Full transparency: we work a little differently around here. This isn't just another job where you punch in and punch out. We come to work every day because we strive to earn a living in a meaningful way. Too many people exist without finding joy or purpose in their work, and we believe that's just wrong. After all, we spend at least a third of our lives working—so why not create workplaces where people want to come to work in the morning and feel good when they leave at the end of the day? At Protocase, your ideas don't just matter—they shape our future. We thrive on collaboration and innovation, where every voice is heard, valued, and makes a real impact. Does this sound like something you'd want to be a part of and help grow? Learn more about us here: https://workdifferently.info/ About Us Protocase manufactures custom electronic enclosures and sheet metal components for scientists, engineers, and innovators all over the world. Our unique "ultra-lean" manufacturing system allows us to build custom sheet metal projects in 2–3 days with no minimum orders. Today, we serve more than 16,000 customers worldwide, including Boeing, NASA, IBM, Lockheed Martin, and SpaceX. About the Opportunity We're looking for a curious and capable Training & Development Co-op Student from DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY to join our Training & Standards team for a 16-week term. You'll work alongside instructional designers, facilitators, and subject matter experts to build the learning experiences that help our people do meaningful, high-quality work. From facilitator guides and interactive modules to training data and knowledge management, you'll get hands-on exposure to how a real organization designs, delivers, and continuously improves its training system. This isn't shadowing—you'll own real deliverables that real employees will use. What You'll Be Doing Help design and build training materials including facilitator guides, interactive HTML modules, quizzes, scenario-based exercises, and PowerPoint decks. Contribute to our centralized Training Knowledge Repository by organizing, formatting, and publishing content. Support the maintenance of training databases and role-to-training mapping across multiple business entities. Assist with internal training audits, sample reviews, and reporting on training effectiveness metrics. Collaborate with subject matter experts across production, sales, quality, and leadership to translate operational knowledge into clear learning materials. Apply structured instructional design methodologies (you'll learn ours) to ensure training is engaging, applicable, and measurable. About You Pursuing a degree in Education, Adult Learning, Instructional Design, Human Resources, Organizational Development, Communications, Business, or a related field. Strong writing and editing skills—you can take a complex idea and explain it clearly. Strong organizational and analytical skills, with attention to detail. Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team. Tech-curious: comfortable with documentation tools, basic HTML, spreadsheets, and willingness to learn new platforms. Comfortable using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Manus, NotebookLM, etc.) as part of your workflow—curious about where they help and thoughtful about where they don't. Interest in instructional design, facilitation, or organizational learning is a strong asset. Willingness to relocate to Sydney, NS for the duration of the co-op term. Compensation & Term Details Wage: $19.50/hour Hours: 40 hours/week Term Length: 16 weeks Full-time, permanent employment may be possible following completion of the student's degree – for the right fit!
