Internships, Co-ops and Careers

We partner with companies, agencies, institutions and nonprofits across southeast Michigan and beyond to provide students with more than 700 co-op and internship opportunities. Our students have held internship or co-op positions at corporations close to home like Ford Motor Company, Ernst & Young, DTE Energy, the Detroit Free Press and the Michigan Governor’s Office, and across the U.S. and the world, at organizations including NASA, the Wolf Education and Research Center in Idaho (yes, they study wolves!) and Canadian Parliament.

Each of our colleges has specialized information on co-op and internship opportunities related to their programs. Many CEHHS students have field placement opportunities in conjunction with their selected program of study.

Every year, our Career Services office helps students and alumni find full- and part-time positions with companies and organizations across southeast Michigan and beyond. Whether you aspire to be a mechanical engineer, financial adviser, biologist or public relations specialist – or anything else – we have the local, national and global connections to help you launch, advance in or diversify your career.

Our Talent Gateway online community offers opportunities to develop your professional skills through learning modules, discussions, reflective challenges and mentorship. By connecting your academic, personal and career goals, Talent Gateway will help you hone your creative problem-solving and the "soft" skills that are vital to employers, positioning you to succeed in the workplace and the world.
