How do I participate in a Co-op?

Employers

Employers may contact Career Services to request resumes, set up interview schedules, or arrange for a cooperative education coordinator to visit the employer’s office to discuss specifics of the program.

Students

Students should attend a Co-op Information Workshop the semester prior to expected placement.  After attending a workshop, each student will schedule an individual appointment with the appropriate co-op coordinator.  The coordinator will explore available opportunities with the student.  Assignments are located in the Metro Detroit area, within the state of Michigan, and in various cities throughout the United States.  Students are referred to employers by the coordinator and are selected by the employer on the basis of individual merit.

What is the difference between an Internship and a Co-cop?


Career Services' Cooperative Education and Internship opportunities typically offer students paid work experiences which relate to a student's major or career goals.

Internships:  Students or recent graduates undergo supervised practical training in a work environment which typically relates to their major or career goals.

Co-ops:  Students earn official acknowledgement on their university transcripts for career work done in their field of study. Businesses create plans for student training and Career Services monitors the students progress. Evaluations are completed by both the student and the employer. 

Employers have communicated to Career Services that neither
experience outweighs the other, but they feel it is very important to participate in a Co-op Experience or an Internship.
