MTEL support is impressive!

We’ve been using MTEL exclusively in our board for many years. We are pleased with the new modernized platform, featuring Secure authentication with Single Sign On technology and responsive design. All your co-op tools are conveniently found in MTEL, efficiently generating all your co-op and OYAP forms. When needed, MTEL support is impressive, performed proficiently and competently.

MTEL, facilitating connections

The steps to complete my Student Cooperative Education Learning Plan (SCELP) in the MTEL application were helpful. I was able to make connections between my related course, TWJ3E, and my placement experience. I was surprised at some of the skills listed, and it opened my eyes to the expectations for this placement and a career in this field. I have a better understanding of what to expect in the construction craft worker apprenticeship trade.

I can’t imagine teaching co-op without having access to MTEL!

MTEL has everything I need to implement the co-operative education program. It keeps me organized, and the pre-populated forms are such a time-saver! MTEL is user-friendly and allows me to search NOC codes, and the corresponding OYAP code pops up at the same time! It is super easy and eliminates errors. I can’t imagine teaching co-op without having access to MTEL!

MTEL, can’t imagine living without it!

I love the MTEL platform! As a new teacher to the Co-operative Education Department, I can’t imagine how I would have sorted and coordinated all the data required to facilitate a student work placement. With MTEL, it’s all laid out before me in a very user-friendly platform. For all my questions, the customer service has been exceptional!
