The Cooperative Education Program at Northeastern University, also known as “Co-op” is an educational model that provides students with opportunities to alternate periods of academic study and periods of full-time employment related to their academic majors and interests. Co-ops can be thought of as full-time, temporary jobs or internships.
For you, the employer, the program offers a gateway to enthusiastic employees with developing skills and talents, as well as potential relationships with future colleagues.
This partnership offers you:
A simple, cost-effective way to meet human resource needs: no fringe benefits, no recruitment costs – Co-op students are paid as temporary hourly employees (select co-op positions may be unpaid or paid with a stipend).
Six-month Co-op periods, which allow ample time for students to be productive and valuable employees after they are trained.
The ability to schedule back-to-back co-op periods for full-time coverage or select 6-month periods for busy times.
The enthusiasm, fresh perspective, and energy of talented young people eager to learn.
