Employers
Partnerships with employers in business, government, education, health care, human services, and technology research have been a defining characteristic of the Northeastern experience for nearly one hundred years. Since the founding of our flagship cooperative education program, our co-op partners have helped Northeastern grow from a commuter institution serving the local community to an internationally renowned research university.
Today, our co-op program is the largest in the country, involving 5,000 students annually and more than 2,000 co-op locations in the U.S. and around the world.
Northeastern's co-op partners have long recognized the potential of this collaboration:
Our co-op program offers you a source of motivated, educated, and talented young men and women who can help meet your human resource needs both as co-ops and as potential full-time employees after they graduate. Nearly two-thirds of our graduates are offered a full-time position by a former co-op employer.
To learn more about the value of co-op to your organization, visit our employer benefits page. For details about how co-op works, visit the co-op partnership page. To find out how your organization can become a co-op employer, please contact one of the college co-op coordinators listed on the hiring process page.
