When you fill out their online application, you will have the opportunity to choose as many districts as you desire. Your application will be available to the districts you select. Districts look for candidates with the qualifications that match their requests for specific job opportunities. A representative of that district may contact you if you are considered as a candidate.

Seeking Co-op or Internship in Your Career Field?
Co-ops and internships are work opportunities consistent with a student's course of study. Opportunities may be full-time or part-time. Participation in the co-op and internship program is available beginning sophomore year, to students who meet the academic requirements.
Students who register their co-op or internship through Career Services will receive a co-op notation on their transcript. There are no fees for co-op registration. The co-op course does not carry academic credit, but registration for full-time co-op confers some benefits of full-time student status.
Make an appointment to visit the Career Services office to review your résumé and speak with an adviser about the co-op job search process.
