• The willingness to work with students
• Selecting students according to the organization’s standard hiring and non-discrimination procedures
• Helping the student and College Co-op Faculty/Coordinator formulate learning objectives (the student’s personalized goals for betterment at work) at the beginning of each quarter
• Providing a safe working environment
• Acquainting the student with the standards of your business and field
• Reporting changes in the student’s employment status to the College Faculty/Coordinator
• Signing the Training Agreement/Learning Objectives Form (see packet for form)
• Evaluating the student’s work performance (see packet for form)
