Information for Employers

The Cooperative Education Program (Co-op) is a statewide initiative aimed at providing you with high quality students interested in career-related employment who are pursuing an accredited degree.

The program allows students to apply what they learn in the classroom to career-related employment by alternating periods of full-time study with paid full-time employment. All of the departments within the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources are active participants in the Co-op Program.

Before an employer can hire students as part of the College's Cooperative Education program, the Cooperative Education Agreement must be completed.
