Just the Basics of Co-Op Ed Internships for Employers
-
Co-Op Ed is first and foremost an educational program
that provides work experience relevant to students' fields
of study.
-
No more than 20% of an intern's responsibilities may be
administrative or unrelated to their field.
-
Students are required to work a minimum of 45 hours for
one credit. Three credits = 135 hours of work.
-
On average, interns work 10-12 hours per week.
-
Employers offering paid internships attract more
students. The more an intern is treated like an employee,
the more he or she will act like one.
