How Can I Encourage Student Involvement in Co-Op Ed?

• Encourage students to include an internship in their plan of study. Use their experiences in the classroom for feedback on the relevance of coursework.

• Visit the Cooperative Education office or view current internships to explore possible work sites. Communicate and share possible work sites with the Cooperative Education Specialist so that new and exciting opportunities may be introduced to your students.

• Check strategies for an effective site visit.

• Share current internship postings related to your academic area of study with students during class time; direct interested students to the Cooperative Education office, Library 100.
