Co-op is a partnership among employers, students, and the college, designed to provide students with on-the-job training, college credit, and in most cases, wages. Co-op is an integral part of degree and certificate programs that enhances the educational process for students by integrating classroom instruction with hands-on experience. This union results in a learning experience not available in the classroom, and an enriched work experience. The Co-op office helps students find paying jobs or volunteer internships related to their major course of study.
