Hire for Co-ops and Internships
Experiential education is a key part of developing our talented College of Engineering students into successful engineers. Co-ops and internships are periods of professionally supervised engineering-related work experiences that supplement academic coursework. By hiring for these positions employers can engage early with these talented engineers. Early engagement allows companies to identify talented candidates directly through on-the-job performance. This allows companies to make informed hiring decisions as well as an increased ability to retain these talented candidates. Once hired these candidates are more likely to have higher levels of productivity in entry-level positions with reduced training. These are just a few of the potential benefits for your company.
