Internships & Co-Ops
Internships are work-learn experiences in a professional environment outside the classroom where students can explore career areas, gain practical skills, and make industry contacts. An internship is a learning experience which supports a student's academic and career goals. It is guided, supervised and evaluated by professionals. Internships vary from 4 to 40 hours per week; are voluntary or paid; and range from 10 weeks to 12 months.Co-Ops usually require six months of full time work in which students are assigned in-depth projects allowing them to fine tune their skills and develop excellent relationships with colleages. Most co-ops are paid positions. Co-Ops often require a student to be away from campus during the academic year. Students should check with the Registrar's office or their Academic department on all necessary paperwork. If you have any questions, contact an ICC Coordinator.
