Co-Ops and Internships
CECS welcomes co-op and internship opportunities that align with students’ academic backgrounds and career interests.
Many students seek part-time opportunities during the fall semester (September–December) and winter semester (January–April), along with full-time opportunities during the summer. Availability varies by student, so employers should clearly communicate the expected schedule and duration.
On-site, hybrid, and remote opportunities are welcome. Work schedules and hours are generally established by the employer and student. Students seeking academic credit through the CECS Co-op Program must meet the program's requirements, including a minimum of 140 work hours over at least seven weeks.
Paid opportunities can make professional experiences more accessible to students and help employers attract candidates. Employers should clearly communicate compensation in the job description and follow applicable employment laws.
Post a Position
Post to connect with CECS students seeking professional experience. Position descriptions should provide an outline of the position, responsibilities, qualifications, location, expected hours, compensation, and application instructions.
Students interested in earning academic credit through the CECS Co-op Program will work with the Career Success Hub to provide the required information and documentation. Students must meet program eligibility and experience requirements. Employers can post positions and recruit candidates regardless of whether a student intends to seek academic credit.
