What is Co-op by Paula Sturm

Co-op is an academic model in

which students alternate periods

of study with periods of paid work

experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the

University of Cincinnati by Her-

man Schneider The co-op extends

student learning beyond the class-

room allowing them to gain practi-

cal experience integrate theory and

practice and further develop their

professional and interpersonal skills

Benets of the Co-op Program to

Students

Working as a co-op enables students

to better understand how the con-

cepts they learn in the classroom

can be applied in real-world settings

Working as a co-op allows students

to gain valuable experience in their

eld which helps them gain con-

dence in their skills and gives them

an advantage as they enter the com-

petitive job market Students have

the opportunity to make connections

in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after

they graduate Students can ldquotest

driverdquo their new career to make sure

it is a good t Many students get

hired by their co-op company after

they graduate

Why Hire a Co-op Student

Co-op students bring enthusiasm

fresh ideas and new skill sets they

are eager to use Co-op students are

a cost effective method for devel-

oping projects or obtaining assis-

tance with daily workloads Co-op

students quickly come up to speed

and are capable of performing work

equal to full-time employees at a

fraction of the cost Co-ops al-

low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential

employees to ll their full-time

recruiting needs

It all started at the University of

Cincinnati

The UC Cooperative Education

Program is the oldest in the world

and the largest cooperative educa-

tion program at a public university

in the United States It has been

ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report

UC students alternate semesters of

study with semesters of full-time

work This gives students the op-

portunity to work in cities all over

the United States as well as inter-

nationally Alternating semesters

also gives employers the advantage

of having a student year-round

if needed For more information

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm

Co-op is an academic model in

which students alternate periods

of study with periods of paid work

experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the

University of Cincinnati by Her-

man Schneider The co-op extends

student learning beyond the class-

room allowing them to gain practi-

cal experience integrate theory and

practice and further develop their

professional and interpersonal skills

Benets of the Co-op Program to

Students

Working as a co-op enables students

to better understand how the con-

cepts they learn in the classroom

can be applied in real-world settings

Working as a co-op allows students

to gain valuable experience in their

eld which helps them gain con-

dence in their skills and gives them

an advantage as they enter the com-

petitive job market Students have

the opportunity to make connections

in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after

they graduate Students can ldquotest

driverdquo their new career to make sure

it is a good t Many students get

hired by their co-op company after

they graduate

Why Hire a Co-op Student

Co-op students bring enthusiasm

fresh ideas and new skill sets they

are eager to use Co-op students are

a cost effective method for devel-

oping projects or obtaining assis-

tance with daily workloads Co-op

students quickly come up to speed

and are capable of performing work

equal to full-time employees at a

fraction of the cost Co-ops al-

low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential

employees to ll their full-time

recruiting needs

It all started at the University of

Cincinnati

The UC Cooperative Education

Program is the oldest in the world

and the largest cooperative educa-

tion program at a public university

in the United States It has been

ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report

UC students alternate semesters of

study with semesters of full-time

work This gives students the op-

portunity to work in cities all over

the United States as well as inter-

nationally Alternating semesters

also gives employers the advantage

of having a student year-round

if needed For more information

about the University of Cincin-

natirsquos co-op program please contactPaula Sturm at paulasturmucedu

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm

Co-op is an academic model in

which students alternate periods

of study with periods of paid work

experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the

University of Cincinnati by Her-

man Schneider The co-op extends

student learning beyond the class-

room allowing them to gain practi-

cal experience integrate theory and

practice and further develop their

professional and interpersonal skills

Benets of the Co-op Program to

Students

Working as a co-op enables students

to better understand how the con-

cepts they learn in the classroom

can be applied in real-world settings

Working as a co-op allows students

to gain valuable experience in their

eld which helps them gain con-

dence in their skills and gives them

an advantage as they enter the com-

petitive job market Students have

the opportunity to make connections

in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after

they graduate Students can ldquotest

driverdquo their new career to make sure

it is a good t Many students get

hired by their co-op company after

they graduate

Why Hire a Co-op Student

Co-op students bring enthusiasm

fresh ideas and new skill sets they

are eager to use Co-op students are

a cost effective method for devel-

oping projects or obtaining assis-

tance with daily workloads Co-op

students quickly come up to speed

and are capable of performing work

equal to full-time employees at a

fraction of the cost Co-ops al-

low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential

employees to ll their full-time

recruiting needs

It all started at the University of

Cincinnati

The UC Cooperative Education

Program is the oldest in the world

and the largest cooperative educa-

tion program at a public university

in the United States It has been

ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report

UC students alternate semesters of

study with semesters of full-time

work This gives students the op-

portunity to work in cities all over

the United States as well as inter-

nationally Alternating semesters

also gives employers the advantage

of having a student year-round

if needed For more information

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm

Co-op is an academic model in

which students alternate periods

of study with periods of paid work

experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the

University of Cincinnati by Her-

man Schneider The co-op extends

student learning beyond the class-

room allowing them to gain practi-

cal experience integrate theory and

practice and further develop their

professional and interpersonal skills

Benets of the Co-op Program to

Students

Working as a co-op enables students

to better understand how the con-

cepts they learn in the classroom

can be applied in real-world settings

Working as a co-op allows students

to gain valuable experience in their

eld which helps them gain con-

dence in their skills and gives them

an advantage as they enter the com-

petitive job market Students have

the opportunity to make connections

in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after

they graduate Students can ldquotest

driverdquo their new career to make sure

it is a good t Many students get

hired by their co-op company after

they graduate

Why Hire a Co-op Student

Co-op students bring enthusiasm

fresh ideas and new skill sets they

are eager to use Co-op students are

a cost effective method for devel-

oping projects or obtaining assis-

tance with daily workloads Co-op

students quickly come up to speed

and are capable of performing work

equal to full-time employees at a

fraction of the cost Co-ops al-

low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential

employees to ll their full-time

recruiting needs

It all started at the University of

Cincinnati

The UC Cooperative Education

Program is the oldest in the world

and the largest cooperative educa-

tion program at a public university

in the United States It has been

ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report

UC students alternate semesters of

study with semesters of full-time

work This gives students the op-

portunity to work in cities all over

the United States as well as inter-

nationally Alternating semesters

also gives employers the advantage

of having a student year-round

if needed For more information

natirsquos co-op program please contactPaula Sturm at paulasturmucedu

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm

Co-op is an academic model in

which students alternate periods

of study with periods of paid work

experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the

University of Cincinnati by Her-

man Schneider The co-op extends

student learning beyond the class-

room allowing them to gain practi-

cal experience integrate theory and

practice and further develop their

professional and interpersonal skills

Benets of the Co-op Program to

Students

Working as a co-op enables students

to better understand how the con-

cepts they learn in the classroom

can be applied in real-world settings

Working as a co-op allows students

to gain valuable experience in their

eld which helps them gain con-

dence in their skills and gives them

an advantage as they enter the com-

petitive job market Students have

the opportunity to make connections

in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after

they graduate Students can ldquotest

driverdquo their new career to make sure

it is a good t Many students get

hired by their co-op company after

they graduate

Why Hire a Co-op Student

Co-op students bring enthusiasm

fresh ideas and new skill sets they

are eager to use Co-op students are

a cost effective method for devel-

oping projects or obtaining assis-

tance with daily workloads Co-op

students quickly come up to speed

and are capable of performing work

equal to full-time employees at a

fraction of the cost Co-ops al-

low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential

employees to ll their full-time

recruiting needs

It all started at the University of

Cincinnati

The UC Cooperative Education

Program is the oldest in the world

and the largest cooperative educa-

tion program at a public university

in the United States It has been

ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report

UC students alternate semesters of

study with semesters of full-time

work This gives students the op-

portunity to work in cities all over

the United States as well as inter-

nationally Alternating semesters

also gives employers the advantage

of having a student year-round

if needed For more information

about the University of Cincin-

natirsquos co-op program please contactPaula Sturm at paulasturmucedu

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm

Co-op is an academic model in

which students alternate periods

of study with periods of paid work

experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the

University of Cincinnati by Her-

man Schneider The co-op extends

student learning beyond the class-

room allowing them to gain practi-

cal experience integrate theory and

practice and further develop their

professional and interpersonal skills

Benets of the Co-op Program to

Students

Working as a co-op enables students

to better understand how the con-

cepts they learn in the classroom

can be applied in real-world settings

Working as a co-op allows students

to gain valuable experience in their

eld which helps them gain con-

dence in their skills and gives them

an advantage as they enter the com-

petitive job market Students have

the opportunity to make connections

in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after

they graduate Students can ldquotest

driverdquo their new career to make sure

it is a good t Many students get

hired by their co-op company after

they graduate

Why Hire a Co-op Student

Co-op students bring enthusiasm

fresh ideas and new skill sets they

are eager to use Co-op students are

a cost effective method for devel-

oping projects or obtaining assis-

tance with daily workloads Co-op

students quickly come up to speed

and are capable of performing work

equal to full-time employees at a

fraction of the cost Co-ops al-

low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential

employees to ll their full-time

recruiting needs

It all started at the University of

Cincinnati

The UC Cooperative Education

Program is the oldest in the world

and the largest cooperative educa-

tion program at a public university

in the United States It has been

ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report

UC students alternate semesters of

study with semesters of full-time

work This gives students the op-

portunity to work in cities all over

the United States as well as inter-

nationally Alternating semesters

also gives employers the advantage

of having a student year-round

if needed For more information

natirsquos co-op program please contactPaula Sturm at paulasturmucedu

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm

Co-op is an academic model in

which students alternate periods

of study with periods of paid work

experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the

University of Cincinnati by Her-

man Schneider The co-op extends

student learning beyond the class-

room allowing them to gain practi-

cal experience integrate theory and

practice and further develop their

professional and interpersonal skills

Benets of the Co-op Program to

Students

Working as a co-op enables students

to better understand how the con-

cepts they learn in the classroom

can be applied in real-world settings

Working as a co-op allows students

to gain valuable experience in their

eld which helps them gain con-

dence in their skills and gives them

an advantage as they enter the com-

petitive job market Students have

the opportunity to make connections

in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after

they graduate Students can ldquotest

driverdquo their new career to make sure

it is a good t Many students get

hired by their co-op company after

they graduate

Why Hire a Co-op Student

Co-op students bring enthusiasm

fresh ideas and new skill sets they

are eager to use Co-op students are

a cost effective method for devel-

oping projects or obtaining assis-

tance with daily workloads Co-op

students quickly come up to speed

and are capable of performing work

equal to full-time employees at a

fraction of the cost Co-ops al-

low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential

employees to ll their full-time

recruiting needs

It all started at the University of

Cincinnati

The UC Cooperative Education

Program is the oldest in the world

and the largest cooperative educa-

tion program at a public university

in the United States It has been

ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report

UC students alternate semesters of

study with semesters of full-time

work This gives students the op-

portunity to work in cities all over

the United States as well as inter-

nationally Alternating semesters

also gives employers the advantage

of having a student year-round

if needed For more information

about the University of Cincin-

natirsquos co-op program please contactPaula Sturm at paulasturmucedu

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm

Co-op is an academic model in

which students alternate periods

of study with periods of paid work

experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the

University of Cincinnati by Her-

man Schneider The co-op extends

student learning beyond the class-

room allowing them to gain practi-

cal experience integrate theory and

practice and further develop their

professional and interpersonal skills

Benets of the Co-op Program to

Students

Working as a co-op enables students

to better understand how the con-

cepts they learn in the classroom

can be applied in real-world settings

Working as a co-op allows students

to gain valuable experience in their

eld which helps them gain con-

dence in their skills and gives them

an advantage as they enter the com-

petitive job market Students have

the opportunity to make connections

in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after

they graduate Students can ldquotest

driverdquo their new career to make sure

it is a good t Many students get

hired by their co-op company after

they graduate

Why Hire a Co-op Student

Co-op students bring enthusiasm

fresh ideas and new skill sets they

are eager to use Co-op students are

a cost effective method for devel-

oping projects or obtaining assis-

tance with daily workloads Co-op

students quickly come up to speed

and are capable of performing work

equal to full-time employees at a

fraction of the cost Co-ops al-

low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential

employees to ll their full-time

recruiting needs

It all started at the University of

Cincinnati

The UC Cooperative Education

Program is the oldest in the world

and the largest cooperative educa-

tion program at a public university

in the United States It has been

ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report

UC students alternate semesters of

study with semesters of full-time

work This gives students the op-

portunity to work in cities all over

the United States as well as inter-

nationally Alternating semesters

also gives employers the advantage

of having a student year-round

if needed For more information

about the University of Cincin-

natirsquos co-op program please contactPaula Sturm at paulasturmucedu

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm

Co-op is an academic model in

which students alternate periods

of study with periods of paid work

experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the

University of Cincinnati by Her-

man Schneider The co-op extends

student learning beyond the class-

room allowing them to gain practi-

cal experience integrate theory and

practice and further develop their

professional and interpersonal skills

Benets of the Co-op Program to

Students

Working as a co-op enables students

to better understand how the con-

cepts they learn in the classroom

can be applied in real-world settings

Working as a co-op allows students

to gain valuable experience in their

eld which helps them gain con-

dence in their skills and gives them

an advantage as they enter the com-

petitive job market Students have

the opportunity to make connections

in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after

they graduate Students can ldquotest

driverdquo their new career to make sure

it is a good t Many students get

hired by their co-op company after

they graduate

Why Hire a Co-op Student

Co-op students bring enthusiasm

fresh ideas and new skill sets they

are eager to use Co-op students are

a cost effective method for devel-

oping projects or obtaining assis-

tance with daily workloads Co-op

students quickly come up to speed

and are capable of performing work

equal to full-time employees at a

fraction of the cost Co-ops al-

low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential

employees to ll their full-time

recruiting needs

It all started at the University of

Cincinnati

The UC Cooperative Education

Program is the oldest in the world

and the largest cooperative educa-

tion program at a public university

in the United States It has been

ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report

UC students alternate semesters of

study with semesters of full-time

work This gives students the op-

portunity to work in cities all over

the United States as well as inter-

nationally Alternating semesters

also gives employers the advantage

of having a student year-round

if needed For more information

about the University of Cincin-

natirsquos co-op program please contactPaula Sturm at paulasturmucedu

students quickly come up to speed

and are capable of performing work

equal to full-time employees at a

fraction of the cost Co-ops al-

low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm

Co-op is an academic model in

which students alternate periods

of study with periods of paid work

experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the

University of Cincinnati by Her-

man Schneider The co-op extends

student learning beyond the class-

room allowing them to gain practi-

cal experience integrate theory and

practice and further develop their

professional and interpersonal skills

Benets of the Co-op Program to

Students

Working as a co-op enables students

to better understand how the con-

cepts they learn in the classroom

can be applied in real-world settings

Working as a co-op allows students

to gain valuable experience in their

eld which helps them gain con-

dence in their skills and gives them

an advantage as they enter the com-

petitive job market Students have

the opportunity to make connections

in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after

they graduate Students can ldquotest

driverdquo their new career to make sure

it is a good t Many students get

hired by their co-op company after

they graduate

Why Hire a Co-op Student

Co-op students bring enthusiasm

are eager to use Co-op students are

a cost effective method for devel-

oping projects or obtaining assis-

tance with daily workloads Co-op

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm

Co-op is an academic model in

which students alternate periods

of study with periods of paid work

experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the

University of Cincinnati by Her-

man Schneider The co-op extends

student learning beyond the class-

room allowing them to gain practi-

cal experience integrate theory and

practice and further develop their

professional and interpersonal skills

Benets of the Co-op Program to

Students

Working as a co-op enables students

to better understand how the con-

cepts they learn in the classroom

can be applied in real-world settings

Working as a co-op allows students

to gain valuable experience in their

eld which helps them gain con-

dence in their skills and gives them

an advantage as they enter the com-

petitive job market Students have

the opportunity to make connections

in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after

they graduate Students can ldquotest

driverdquo their new career to make sure

it is a good t Many students get

hired by their co-op company after

they graduate

Why Hire a Co-op Student

Co-op students bring enthusiasm

fresh ideas and new skill sets they

are eager to use Co-op students are

a cost effective method for devel-

oping projects or obtaining assis-

tance with daily workloads Co-op

students quickly come up to speed

and are capable of performing work

equal to full-time employees at a

fraction of the cost Co-ops al-

low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential

employees to ll their full-time

recruiting needs

It all started at the University of

Cincinnati

The UC Cooperative Education

Program is the oldest in the world

and the largest cooperative educa-

tion program at a public university

in the United States It has been

ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report

UC students alternate semesters of

study with semesters of full-time

work This gives students the op-

portunity to work in cities all over

the United States as well as inter-

nationally Alternating semesters

also gives employers the advantage

of having a student year-round

if needed For more information
