Hands-On Experience Before Graduation

It’s a fact. Employers prefer to hire graduates with hands-on experience in their majors. You can gain practical experience and enhance your classroom learning through an internship or a co-op opportunity. In addition to providing insight into your future career, working as an intern or a co-op student will give you a competitive advantage in the job market because of the skills you have developed while in the position.

We can help you obtain highquality internships and co-op positions prior to graduation. We work closely with potential and existing employers to promote internships and co-op positions within their organizations. We have successfully increased the quality and quantity of these experiences for our students. To date, we work with more than 4,000 employers such as:

  • American Red Cross
  • Bank of America
  • Dillard’s
  • DRS Infrared Technologies
  • Ericsson
  • Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)

  • Frito-Lay
  • J.C. Penney
  • MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers)
  • Nordstrom
  • Pepsico
  • Southwest Airlines
