Co-op sharpens your organization’s competitive edge
Our cooperative (co-op) education model integrates classroom learning with practical experience, allowing students to alternate semesters of academic study with six months of full-time employment in positions related to their major or career interests.
For employers, co-op provides a cost-effective way to hire, develop, and on-board up-and-coming talent. More than half of our students receive a job offer from at least one previous co-op employer. When graduates enter the role, they require less training, because they have already been immersed in the company’s culture and are well-versed on the organization’s processes.
Join our partner network of 3,300+ organizations in over 140 countries globally.
