Cooperative Education/Internship

Setting up YOUR Cooperative Education site may take months.

Cooperative Education

Training Agreement & Learning Objectives? – Forms

Virtual co-op experiences will need to align with the processes of the faculty handbook?and the student handbook.

Cooperative Education also referred to as co-op is a wonderful opportunity to get college credit for field work 1 credit hour is equal to 30 hours in the field over the course of the term. Most coops are 3 credits and are about 7-8 hours per week. You will have a site supervisor as well as a college instructor. The college instructor will have a syllabus outlining their requirements and the site supervisor will have their expectations outlined in the learning objectives. It is up to the student to locate their own site and competitively interview for the opening. Faculty and I are available to assist you in finding a coop site. This field experience is a wonderful way to put classroom knowledge to use, build a professional reputation in the field, and earn a relevant work reference. PCC provides worker’s compensation insurance for non-paid experiences if not covered by the site.
