Testimonial
MTEL has become the go-to application that we use for Co-op.
The application has helped consolidate all information in one spot. MTEL has become the go-to application that we use for Co-op. The “Team Teaching” feature allows us to work together and intervene in a shared co-op student’s placement record. I like that the SCELP process puts the students in the driver’s seat. MTEL is always quick to respond to our questions, and always listens to our feedback to enhance the application. The customer service has been absolutely fantastic.
