Parents, have you heard of a co-op? 🤔
A co-op is an opportunity for students to step out of the classroom and into a full-time, paid professional role during the semester. These experiences help students build real-world skills, gain valuable experience, and become more competitive in the job market before they graduate.
If your student is exploring career options, we encourage them to learn more by attending our Co-op Drop-In Hours:

⏰ 4:00–5:00 PM
📍 Wilbur Cross Building, Center for Career Readiness and Life Skills, Suite 202, Conference Room
