The following are situations where Co-op students are especially beneficial:

• Business is expanding
• Urgent tasks are not getting done
• Senior staff wasting time performing entry-level tasks
• "Burnout" from workload affecting permanent staff
• Difficulty making new computer and other technologies work
• Lack of good candidates for full-time positions
• Hiring too many freelancers and consultants
• Busy periods requiring temporary staff
• Staff on leaves-of-absence
