Through co-op and internship programs, you can learn from professionals in the field who can offer guidance and advice.

WHAT IS AN INTERNSHIP?

Participation in an internship or cooperative education, co-op for short, is the most important way to gain on-the-job experience in your chosen career field. College students who have an internship or co-op listed on their résumés are more likely to get job offers after graduation compared with students who chose not to pursue those experiences.

Internships and co-ops are valuable opportunities for students in any field. They provide a clear look at the day-to-day workings of a career, allow students to apply the knowledge they have gained in the classroom and through assignments and projects to a real-world setting, help narrow students’ career aspirations, help connect students to professionals in the field, and give students a chance to work on real projects where they can actively contribute to their field.
