The Division of Professional Practice has developed an employer manual specifically to aid employers in creating a successful co-op program that serves the needs of their organization, the student and university in a collaborative fashion. We have focused on key areas and attributes that have been identified by over 200 diverse co-op employers, which may aid in the establishment and maintenance of a successful co-op program.
