CCO Missionary Staff
This is our most robust work program, designed for those who desire to commit to employment with CCO for a longer period of time.
In your first year, receive our world-class training in evangelization and intentional accompaniment through our Formation program, with on-the-ground experience and implementation on the university campus, or as a member of one of the teams in our National Headquarters in Ottawa, ON.
Your year begins on May 1st at our New Hire Orientation. Summer months are spent in initial training and Support Team Partnership Development (STPD), culminating in our National Staff Gathering in August, where you will receive timely training and formation to launch you into your position as a CCO missionary. Throughout your first year of employment, you will continue through the Formation program while also working directly in your assignment.
After completing the Formation Year, you may be invited to continue as a CCO Missionary with a two-year contract.
Headstart
Our Headstart program is designed to give you a semester headstart into the Formation program. Headstart employment begins at the end of December, allowing you to begin working on campus or in HQ in anticipation of the start of the Formation Program in May.
This program is great for students graduating in December, or anyone is ready to reach more souls now and just can’t wait until May!
CO-OP and Summer Students
Co-op and summer student placements are available at our National Headquarters, and can be tailored to your specific area of study. Working in a placement at CCO HQ will give you the unique opportunity to put into practice the skills you are acquiring through your education while also growing in your faith and missionary identity in the process.
