The rate of pay is negotiated between the employer and the student. All students are encouraged to register for CWE 101, a one-credit hour course which is offered as an Independent Study course. No classes need to be attended. The goal of this course is to provide students with experience in resume writing, interviewing strategies, rudiments of career direction and planning, job keeping skills and job hunting on the Internet. The Co-op office will not screen any applications.
Every interested student is considered to be a potential candidate for the appropriate opening.
Students, based on their qualifications and interests who meet the criteria outlined by the employer, are encouraged to submit their resume and a cover letter indicating the desired job reference number to the Co-op office for processing. The employers will interview the potential applicants at the place of their business or on the Greenville Tech campus and would confirm the details of placement through the Co-op office. During the work period, a faculty member assigned by the participating department will maintain contacts with the student and employer. Adhere to the company rules and policies and report on time during the assigned period. If employment is not in the best interest of the student or employer, the Co-op staff will take part to resolve the situation.
