Co-op Program
Partner with us
Cooperative Education is a partnership between employer, student, and university. Employers gain the opportunity to recruit and evaluate students early; students gain invaluable job experience and training; and the university builds relationships with companies that help us keep informed on the latest advances in engineering.
How Co-op works
Before deciding if a Co-op is right for your company, consider the expectations we have for our Co-op partners.
- Provide work experiences related to the student's degree
- Provide appropriate support and evaluation
- Provide a wage appropriate for the skill level of the position
Students can start a Co-op after their sophomore year. Students are encouraged to complete three, one-semester tours with the same company. By alternating semesters at work and at school, students have the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility with each tour.
Employer benefits
Being a part of our Co-op program has unique advantages for employers. Consider our growing list of Co-op partners - companies that have already decided to Co-op with Texas Tech.
