Resume, interview and job search workshops are offered for current students. Scholarship and grant information may be obtained from the fellowship bulletin published by the Career Services Office or from materials in the Career Resource Library. As a professional school, Cooper Union encourages all students to take internships in the summers. Internships are essential in preparing for a competitive job market. During the academic year, art and architecture students participate in the Cooper Union Professional Internship Program, which allows them to gain valuable experience in their field while earning a stipend.
Career counseling begins during the freshman year.
Freshmen and sophomores attend job search and summer employment workshops which are offered during the academic year. The job search campaign will not be the same for every student. Variations are the rule in our talented student body. Begin early and be prepared for the opportunities that will present themselves. The engineering on-campus recruitment program for seniors gets underway with the annual Cooper Union Career Fair, which takes place in early October.
