South Puget Sound Community College

Cooperative Work Experience

Cooperative Work Experience (CO-op) is the Internship Program at South Puget Sound Community College. Students may receive academic credit for paid or unpaid work experience related to their educational goals. This program gives students the opportunity to apply their skills while still in college, gain on-the-job experience, and "try out" a career before graduation.

Co-op offers job search, resume, and interview preparation assistance. Jobs are accessible from the Co-op web site. Also, positions are posted on the Job Center Board in Bldg. 25. Students may also earn credit for their current positions, Student Employment jobs and/or Work Study positions if they meet eligibility requirements.

Co-op is an elective or degree requirement in most technical programs.
