Normally students are committed to returning to the same employer for a second consecutive work term if requested to do so by the employer. Thus, the employer has the advantage of hiring a student who has already received some training in their organization and, therefore, can give the student increased responsibility. Note however, that employers are not obligated to hire students back for a second work term. Where this is the case, that information will be provided in the job posting. Students may still find these experiences worthwhile, but those participating in these programs bear the costs of their living expenses while on their placement and face returning to UW for their next school term having not earned any money to pay for tuition, etc.
Weekly attendance is required.
Take advantage of the resume critiquing services that are available on-campus. Student Career Advisors are generally available in Needles Hall by appointment to critique resumes. Note that in December, they probably will only be available during the first two weeks of the month. Resume writing will be one of the topics at the first CO-OP 101 session in January. If you will be beyond the 2B level in the Winter term and want to apply for admission to the Co-op program, a petition will be required.
