Why are internships and co-ops the #1 thing employers look for in candidates?

What is an internship?

What is a Co-Op?

Summer: Full time and internship positions start

Like an internship, but with rotations

Semester 1: School full time

Semester 2: Work full time

Semester 3: School full time

Etc...

Internship: is a supervised pre-professional learning experience that allows students to apply their skills and knowledge in a professional setting. The student has intentional learning goals and reflects actively on what he or she is learning throughout the experience.

Characteristics Include:

One experience offered at a time, could lead to interning more than once

"Learning agenda” , not just a part time job

May be part-time or full-time

May be paid or non-paid

May be for academic credit or not

"Traditional" Co-ops = 3-5 rotations

New trend: "One rotation co-ops." If this rotation happens in the summer it will not interfere with your fall/spring semester.

E & T Internships are usually paid. 2016-2017 students on average made $16/hr.

Some majors require an internship, but ALL majors have the option to receive academic credit.
