Velocity: Student Development Program for Interns and Co-ops
Welcome to Velocity!
Velocity isn’t your average internship or co-op. It is a development program designed to accelerate growth through hands-on experiences, interactive workshops, and impactful events at Scotiabank and Tangerine.
What makes Velocity different?
While we offer a wide range of internships and co-op placements across our business lines, Velocity is a unique, enhanced experience for top-performing students who are ready to go further, faster.
Here’s how Velocity stands out:

How to spot a Velocity opportunity
When browsing student job postings, look for "VELOCITY" in the job title. That's your signal that the role is part of our Velocity Development program.
If the title doesn’t include “VELOCITY,” it’s still a fantastic opportunity to gain experience and build your network—but it won’t include the cross-bank, career-mapping journey that VELOCITY offers.
Not every student opportunity is part of Velocity - and that’s okay! We also offer standalone internships and co-op placements across these same business lines. These roles are ideal for students looking to gain valuable experience and explore their interests in a specific area.
