Have successfully completed 12 credit hours and maintain an academic standing of 2.0 GPA or above. Be working to obtain an associate degree or certificate in a Sinclair academic program. The course includes resume preparation and interview techniques. In addition, students explore career opportunities and meet prospective employers for internship possibilities. Although Sinclair makes every effort possible to place students in jobs related to their areas of study, placement cannot be guaranteed.
Employment is often determined on the basis of actual interviews with prospective employers.
Paid Co-op jobs allow students to work part time on an ongoing basis. Internship work experiences are generally for one quarter only for 15 hours per week and are usually unpaid. Most Co-op positions are paid, but some excellent unpaid experiences are also available, usually for one quarter and qualifying for internship credit. Unpaid experience may be necessary to break into highly competitive fields, such as TV Radio, Marketing, Visual Communications, etc. Many positions are available indefinitely, as long as student performance is good, budget allows, etc.
