What is Co-op by Paula Sturm
Co-op is an academic model in
which students alternate periods
of study with periods of paid work
experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the
University of Cincinnati by Her-
man Schneider The co-op extends
student learning beyond the class-
room allowing them to gain practi-
cal experience integrate theory and
practice and further develop their
professional and interpersonal skills
Benets of the Co-op Program to
Students
Working as a co-op enables students
to better understand how the con-
cepts they learn in the classroom
can be applied in real-world settings
Working as a co-op allows students
to gain valuable experience in their
eld which helps them gain con-
dence in their skills and gives them
an advantage as they enter the com-
petitive job market Students have
the opportunity to make connections
in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after
they graduate Students can ldquotest
driverdquo their new career to make sure
it is a good t Many students get
hired by their co-op company after
they graduate
Why Hire a Co-op Student
Co-op students bring enthusiasm
fresh ideas and new skill sets they
are eager to use Co-op students are
a cost effective method for devel-
oping projects or obtaining assis-
tance with daily workloads Co-op
students quickly come up to speed
and are capable of performing work
equal to full-time employees at a
fraction of the cost Co-ops al-
low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential
employees to ll their full-time
recruiting needs
It all started at the University of
Cincinnati
The UC Cooperative Education
Program is the oldest in the world
and the largest cooperative educa-
tion program at a public university
in the United States It has been
ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report
UC students alternate semesters of
study with semesters of full-time
work This gives students the op-
portunity to work in cities all over
the United States as well as inter-
nationally Alternating semesters
also gives employers the advantage
of having a student year-round
if needed For more information

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm
Co-op is an academic model in
which students alternate periods
of study with periods of paid work
experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the
University of Cincinnati by Her-
man Schneider The co-op extends
student learning beyond the class-
room allowing them to gain practi-
cal experience integrate theory and
practice and further develop their
professional and interpersonal skills
Benets of the Co-op Program to
Students
Working as a co-op enables students
to better understand how the con-
cepts they learn in the classroom
can be applied in real-world settings
Working as a co-op allows students
to gain valuable experience in their
eld which helps them gain con-
dence in their skills and gives them
an advantage as they enter the com-
petitive job market Students have
the opportunity to make connections
in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after
they graduate Students can ldquotest
driverdquo their new career to make sure
it is a good t Many students get
hired by their co-op company after
they graduate
Why Hire a Co-op Student
Co-op students bring enthusiasm
fresh ideas and new skill sets they
are eager to use Co-op students are
a cost effective method for devel-
oping projects or obtaining assis-
tance with daily workloads Co-op
students quickly come up to speed
and are capable of performing work
equal to full-time employees at a
fraction of the cost Co-ops al-
low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential
employees to ll their full-time
recruiting needs
It all started at the University of
Cincinnati
The UC Cooperative Education
Program is the oldest in the world
and the largest cooperative educa-
tion program at a public university
in the United States It has been
ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report
UC students alternate semesters of
study with semesters of full-time
work This gives students the op-
portunity to work in cities all over
the United States as well as inter-
nationally Alternating semesters
also gives employers the advantage
of having a student year-round
if needed For more information
about the University of Cincin-
natirsquos co-op program please contactPaula Sturm at paulasturmucedu

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm
Co-op is an academic model in
which students alternate periods
of study with periods of paid work
experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the
University of Cincinnati by Her-
man Schneider The co-op extends
student learning beyond the class-
room allowing them to gain practi-
cal experience integrate theory and
practice and further develop their
professional and interpersonal skills
Benets of the Co-op Program to
Students
Working as a co-op enables students
to better understand how the con-
cepts they learn in the classroom
can be applied in real-world settings
Working as a co-op allows students
to gain valuable experience in their
eld which helps them gain con-
dence in their skills and gives them
an advantage as they enter the com-
petitive job market Students have
the opportunity to make connections
in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after
they graduate Students can ldquotest
driverdquo their new career to make sure
it is a good t Many students get
hired by their co-op company after
they graduate
Why Hire a Co-op Student
Co-op students bring enthusiasm
fresh ideas and new skill sets they
are eager to use Co-op students are
a cost effective method for devel-
oping projects or obtaining assis-
tance with daily workloads Co-op
students quickly come up to speed
and are capable of performing work
equal to full-time employees at a
fraction of the cost Co-ops al-
low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential
employees to ll their full-time
recruiting needs
It all started at the University of
Cincinnati
The UC Cooperative Education
Program is the oldest in the world
and the largest cooperative educa-
tion program at a public university
in the United States It has been
ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report
UC students alternate semesters of
study with semesters of full-time
work This gives students the op-
portunity to work in cities all over
the United States as well as inter-
nationally Alternating semesters
also gives employers the advantage
of having a student year-round
if needed For more information

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm
Co-op is an academic model in
which students alternate periods
of study with periods of paid work
experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the
University of Cincinnati by Her-
man Schneider The co-op extends
student learning beyond the class-
room allowing them to gain practi-
cal experience integrate theory and
practice and further develop their
professional and interpersonal skills
Benets of the Co-op Program to
Students
Working as a co-op enables students
to better understand how the con-
cepts they learn in the classroom
can be applied in real-world settings
Working as a co-op allows students
to gain valuable experience in their
eld which helps them gain con-
dence in their skills and gives them
an advantage as they enter the com-
petitive job market Students have
the opportunity to make connections
in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after
they graduate Students can ldquotest
driverdquo their new career to make sure
it is a good t Many students get
hired by their co-op company after
they graduate
Why Hire a Co-op Student
Co-op students bring enthusiasm
fresh ideas and new skill sets they
are eager to use Co-op students are
a cost effective method for devel-
oping projects or obtaining assis-
tance with daily workloads Co-op
students quickly come up to speed
and are capable of performing work
equal to full-time employees at a
fraction of the cost Co-ops al-
low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential
employees to ll their full-time
recruiting needs
It all started at the University of
Cincinnati
The UC Cooperative Education
Program is the oldest in the world
and the largest cooperative educa-
tion program at a public university
in the United States It has been
ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report
UC students alternate semesters of
study with semesters of full-time
work This gives students the op-
portunity to work in cities all over
the United States as well as inter-
nationally Alternating semesters
also gives employers the advantage
of having a student year-round
if needed For more information
about the University of Cincin-
natirsquos co-op program please contactPaula Sturm at paulasturmucedu

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm
Co-op is an academic model in
which students alternate periods
of study with periods of paid work
experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the
University of Cincinnati by Her-
man Schneider The co-op extends
student learning beyond the class-
room allowing them to gain practi-
cal experience integrate theory and
practice and further develop their
professional and interpersonal skills
Benets of the Co-op Program to
Students
Working as a co-op enables students
to better understand how the con-
cepts they learn in the classroom
can be applied in real-world settings
Working as a co-op allows students
to gain valuable experience in their
eld which helps them gain con-
dence in their skills and gives them
an advantage as they enter the com-
petitive job market Students have
the opportunity to make connections
in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after
they graduate Students can ldquotest
driverdquo their new career to make sure
it is a good t Many students get
hired by their co-op company after
they graduate
Why Hire a Co-op Student
Co-op students bring enthusiasm
fresh ideas and new skill sets they
are eager to use Co-op students are
a cost effective method for devel-
oping projects or obtaining assis-
tance with daily workloads Co-op
students quickly come up to speed
and are capable of performing work
equal to full-time employees at a
fraction of the cost Co-ops al-
low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential
employees to ll their full-time
recruiting needs
It all started at the University of
Cincinnati
The UC Cooperative Education
Program is the oldest in the world
and the largest cooperative educa-
tion program at a public university
in the United States It has been
ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report
UC students alternate semesters of
study with semesters of full-time
work This gives students the op-
portunity to work in cities all over
the United States as well as inter-
nationally Alternating semesters
also gives employers the advantage
of having a student year-round
if needed For more information

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm
Co-op is an academic model in
which students alternate periods
of study with periods of paid work
experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the
University of Cincinnati by Her-
man Schneider The co-op extends
student learning beyond the class-
room allowing them to gain practi-
cal experience integrate theory and
practice and further develop their
professional and interpersonal skills
Benets of the Co-op Program to
Students
Working as a co-op enables students
to better understand how the con-
cepts they learn in the classroom
can be applied in real-world settings
Working as a co-op allows students
to gain valuable experience in their
eld which helps them gain con-
dence in their skills and gives them
an advantage as they enter the com-
petitive job market Students have
the opportunity to make connections
in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after
they graduate Students can ldquotest
driverdquo their new career to make sure
it is a good t Many students get
hired by their co-op company after
they graduate
Why Hire a Co-op Student
Co-op students bring enthusiasm
fresh ideas and new skill sets they
are eager to use Co-op students are
a cost effective method for devel-
oping projects or obtaining assis-
tance with daily workloads Co-op
students quickly come up to speed
and are capable of performing work
equal to full-time employees at a
fraction of the cost Co-ops al-
low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential
employees to ll their full-time
recruiting needs
It all started at the University of
Cincinnati
The UC Cooperative Education
Program is the oldest in the world
and the largest cooperative educa-
tion program at a public university
in the United States It has been
ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report
UC students alternate semesters of
study with semesters of full-time
work This gives students the op-
portunity to work in cities all over
the United States as well as inter-
nationally Alternating semesters
also gives employers the advantage
of having a student year-round
if needed For more information

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm
Co-op is an academic model in
which students alternate periods
of study with periods of paid work
experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the
University of Cincinnati by Her-
man Schneider The co-op extends
student learning beyond the class-
room allowing them to gain practi-
cal experience integrate theory and
practice and further develop their
professional and interpersonal skills
Benets of the Co-op Program to
Students
Working as a co-op enables students
to better understand how the con-
cepts they learn in the classroom
can be applied in real-world settings
Working as a co-op allows students
to gain valuable experience in their
eld which helps them gain con-
dence in their skills and gives them
an advantage as they enter the com-
petitive job market Students have
the opportunity to make connections
in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after
they graduate Students can ldquotest
driverdquo their new career to make sure
it is a good t Many students get
hired by their co-op company after
they graduate
Why Hire a Co-op Student
Co-op students bring enthusiasm
fresh ideas and new skill sets they
are eager to use Co-op students are
a cost effective method for devel-
oping projects or obtaining assis-
tance with daily workloads Co-op
students quickly come up to speed
and are capable of performing work
equal to full-time employees at a
fraction of the cost Co-ops al-
low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential
employees to ll their full-time
recruiting needs
It all started at the University of
Cincinnati
The UC Cooperative Education
Program is the oldest in the world
and the largest cooperative educa-
tion program at a public university
in the United States It has been
ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report
UC students alternate semesters of
study with semesters of full-time
work This gives students the op-
portunity to work in cities all over
the United States as well as inter-
nationally Alternating semesters
also gives employers the advantage
of having a student year-round

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm
Co-op is an academic model in
which students alternate periods
of study with periods of paid work
experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the
University of Cincinnati by Her-
man Schneider The co-op extends
student learning beyond the class-
room allowing them to gain practi-
cal experience integrate theory and
practice and further develop their
professional and interpersonal skills
Benets of the Co-op Program to
Students
Working as a co-op enables students
to better understand how the con-
cepts they learn in the classroom
can be applied in real-world settings
Working as a co-op allows students
to gain valuable experience in their
eld which helps them gain con-
dence in their skills and gives them
an advantage as they enter the com-
petitive job market Students have
the opportunity to make connections
in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after
they graduate Students can ldquotest
driverdquo their new career to make sure
it is a good t Many students get
hired by their co-op company after
they graduate
Why Hire a Co-op Student
Co-op students bring enthusiasm
fresh ideas and new skill sets they
are eager to use Co-op students are
a cost effective method for devel-
oping projects or obtaining assis-
tance with daily workloads Co-op
students quickly come up to speed
and are capable of performing work
equal to full-time employees at a
fraction of the cost Co-ops al-
low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential
employees to ll their full-time
recruiting needs
It all started at the University of
Cincinnati
The UC Cooperative Education
Program is the oldest in the world
and the largest cooperative educa-
tion program at a public university
in the United States It has been
ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report
UC students alternate semesters of
study with semesters of full-time
work This gives students the op-
portunity to work in cities all over
the United States as well as inter-
nationally Alternating semesters
also gives employers the advantage
of having a student year-round
if needed For more information

fresh ideas and new skill sets they
are eager to use Co-op students are
a cost effective method for devel-
oping projects or obtaining assis-
tance with daily workloads Co-op
students quickly come up to speed
and are capable of performing work
equal to full-time employees at a
fraction of the cost Co-ops al-
low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm
Co-op is an academic model in
which students alternate periods
of study with periods of paid work
experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the
University of Cincinnati by Her-
man Schneider The co-op extends
student learning beyond the class-
room allowing them to gain practi-
cal experience integrate theory and
practice and further develop their
professional and interpersonal skills
Benets of the Co-op Program to
Students
Working as a co-op enables students
to better understand how the con-
cepts they learn in the classroom
can be applied in real-world settings
Working as a co-op allows students
to gain valuable experience in their
eld which helps them gain con-
dence in their skills and gives them
an advantage as they enter the com-
petitive job market Students have
the opportunity to make connections
in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after
they graduate Students can ldquotest
driverdquo their new career to make sure
it is a good t Many students get
hired by their co-op company after
they graduate
Why Hire a Co-op Student
Co-op students bring enthusiasm
fresh ideas and new skill sets they
are eager to use Co-op students are
a cost effective method for devel-
oping projects or obtaining assis-
tance with daily workloads Co-op
students quickly come up to speed
and are capable of performing work
equal to full-time employees at a
fraction of the cost Co-ops al-
low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential
employees to ll their full-time
recruiting needs
It all started at the University of
Cincinnati
The UC Cooperative Education
Program is the oldest in the world
and the largest cooperative educa-
tion program at a public university
in the United States It has been
ranked 4th in the United States bythe US News and World Report
UC students alternate semesters of
study with semesters of full-time
work This gives students the op-
portunity to work in cities all over
the United States as well as inter-
nationally Alternating semesters
also gives employers the advantage
of having a student year-round
if needed For more information
about the University of Cincin-
natirsquos co-op program please contactPaula Sturm at paulasturmucedu

What is Co-op by Paula Sturm
Co-op is an academic model in
which students alternate periods
of study with periods of paid work
experience in their eld The con-cept was pioneered in 1906 at the
University of Cincinnati by Her-
man Schneider The co-op extends
student learning beyond the class-
room allowing them to gain practi-
cal experience integrate theory and
practice and further develop their
professional and interpersonal skills
Benets of the Co-op Program to
Students
Working as a co-op enables students
to better understand how the con-
cepts they learn in the classroom
can be applied in real-world settings
Working as a co-op allows students
to gain valuable experience in their
eld which helps them gain con-
dence in their skills and gives them
an advantage as they enter the com-
petitive job market Students have
the opportunity to make connections
in their eld which can help themnd permanent employment after
they graduate Students can ldquotest
driverdquo their new career to make sure
it is a good t Many students get
hired by their co-op company after
they graduate
Why Hire a Co-op Student
Co-op students bring enthusiasm
fresh ideas and new skill sets they
are eager to use Co-op students are
a cost effective method for devel-
oping projects or obtaining assis-
tance with daily workloads Co-op
students quickly come up to speed
and are capable of performing work
equal to full-time employees at a
fraction of the cost Co-ops al-
low companies to create a pipelineof talented and trained potential
employees to ll their full-time
recruiting needs
It all started at the University of

tion program at a public university

portunity to work in cities all over
