Co-ops vs. Interns / Internships

Listen Later

Have you ever wondered the difference between a co-op and an intern?

Co-ops 

  1. Good way to get your foot into the door of a good company you are targeting 
  2. Can be required, not always and if you’re part of a co-op program you are stopping classes to work full time 
  3. Paid program 
  4. Usually lasts about 3-12 months 
  5. You get school credit 
  6. Heavily related to your school program / major / area of study 
  7. Could be part of a rotational program 

    8. Interns / Internships 

    1. For current students 
    2. Internships are typically shorter than the co-ops, usually lasting over the summer or fall/spring
    3. Compensation - can be paid, unpaid or an exchange for housing or something similar 
    4. Not typically required 
    5. Typically not getting school credit
