Students & New Graduates

All of our student job opportunities are posted online in our student portal. Some schools may require you to apply through your co-op/internship office in addition to the BlackBerry website. Please check to ensure you're following the process outlined by your school.

Though we prefer to hire candidates through a registered student/internship program, we’ll consider students not registered in formal programs. However, you must be returning to full-time studies upon completion of your term with BlackBerry.

In North America, student co-op/internship opportunities are posted during September, January and May. For student/internship opportunities outside of North America, please check back regularly to view new opportunities. Or set up your profile to receive notifications when a job matching your skills and interests becomes available.

Opportunities fluctuate depending on what and where the business needs are at a particular time for a particular BlackBerry office. But we routinely have student openings in our Canadian and our Silicon Valley offices. Visit our student portal to see what’s available in your area.

In Canada, BlackBerry provides some relocation assistance to those individuals accepted for a student position who are required to relocate outside of the province of their school for a work term with BlackBerry.
