I have worked in the Co-op Office for the past 23 years. Co-op students have the opportunity to travel, meet many different individuals, and work in diverse environments. They tell me that they feel that they have a competitive edge when interviewing for full time employment opportunities. Co-op training provides an insight into the types of activities engineers and managers face in everyday work environments. Additionally, co-op students learn how to negotiate the corporate arena.
Many students continue to work for their co-op employer upon graduation.
Students are employed with over 500 companies in 34 states. Many work with Fortune 500 companies as well as many smaller employers. We may not be able to expose you to what you may want as a lifelong career, but we are hopeful that we can provide a meaningful training experience. I look forward to working with you.
