Return to top Opportunities for cooperative education and internships The University of Colorado at Boulder's cooperative education and internship program began in 1979. It links interested students with employers who have opportunities for students to gain practical experience through work.
All students are eligible to participate in internships and to use the services of the program.
Career services also mailed 12,000 resumes to employers, hosted career fairs and workshops, worked with academic programs on career advising, and listed over 3,000 positions on a telephone hotline. Some schools, colleges, and departments also offer the same types of assistance.
