If you seek the answers to these and other questions, you may want to consider Cooperative Education.
Cooperative education is a program that combines academic study and practical work experience.
It is designed to provide students with planned and supervised work experience related to their chosen field of study. Students enrolled in a co-op program put theory into practice while working under the supervision of a trained professional in the field. Employment opportunities are made possible through supervised learning with participating employers in business, industry, government and service agencies. Participants must be sophomores or juniors enrolled in a degree-seeking program. However, employers may establish other criteria for participation, including a higher GPA that may affect a student's eligibility.
