College Internships and Co-ops

Working as an intern with an industry company is one of the most rewarding and educational programs available to students. Internships exist in many locations and companies throughout the United States.

Internships operate in many ways, the most common being the situation where a company hires a student for a specific period of time (one semester, summer break, etc.) to work specific projects or in many sectors of the company. The student is paid a salary and, occasionally, receives additional travel and living expenses while working with the company. Sometimes a university will have a co-op agreement with a company whereby students are hired, paid a salary, work for longer period of time--often alternating between work and school--and receive academic credit for the periods of work.
