applies via employment.rdpolytech.ca
Verdict
The employer is listed as Vancouver Community College (a real BC institution) but the apply link goes to employment.rdpolytech.ca — Red Deer Polytechnic's official portal in Alberta, a different real public institution. This is almost certainly an aggregator mislabeling rather than a scam (the destination is a legitimate .ca institutional portal, not an attacker-controlled site), but the employer/location/apply-destination inconsistency and an implausible $145,080 salary for a co-op student technician warrant caution.
