Intern/Co-op Student Perspectives

Interns and Co-ops want:

  • the work to be meaningful and very hands on, affording the opportunity to see tangible results
  • to experience different areas of the company (rotational assignments)
  • to be challenged and given regular feedback from a supervisor/mentor
  • to be considered an integral member of a team and not operate in a vacuum
  • to meet and interact with people to learn as much as possible about the company
  • their companies to keep in touch with them even when they return to school - to be kept in the loop
  • to serve as ambassadors for the company by helping recruit other students at campus events and through word of mouth
  • to earn competitive wages
