Career Week typically includes informational sessions and a Career Fair at which representatives from over 50 companies discuss employment opportunities with Merrimack students and alumni. Look for Career Week each semester. The Fund has received over 1,100 pledges to date. Extensive job preparation, including learning to write a winning resume and mastering successful interview techniques, are important parts of the co-op curriculum. Co-op coordinators help students to identify and secure positions that match their career interests and abilities.
All students are eligible for co-op the summer after their sophomore year.
Your student must join co-op in the beginning of a fall or spring semester. Information sessions, at which application materials are available, occur early in both semesters. Attending such a meeting is the first requirement for joining co-op.
