Overview Of Cooperative Education

The term “Cooperative Education” is used to cover internships, work-based learning, and experiential learning. Cooperative Education (CO-OP) embodies the philosophy that education becomes complete when theory and experience are both part of the education process. As a Cooperative Education Student, or Cooperative Education Employment Supervisor, or as a Faculty CO-OP Coordinator, we applaud your participation in the Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) Cooperative Education program.

Students:

As a Cooperative Education Student you must initiate the Cooperative Education process. It is your responsibility to approach your Employment Supervisor regarding your participation in Cooperative Education. You must also assume the responsibility of making the program successful. As a student you can expect that your work experience will be strongly linked with your training program goals. You can expect to receive the expertise of your Faculty CO-OP Coordinator to help you understand and solve any training-related problems you may encounter during your CO-OP experience. You will be evaluated and graded on how well you achieve the learning objectives, basic work skills, and your ability to meet professional standards of conduct.

Employer/ Internship Supervisors:
As a Cooperative Education Employment Supervisor, you can expect to be involved in the training of a member of your industry’s future workforce. In most cases you will be involved in the development of program objectives and you will participate in the grading process. Through interaction with the Cooperative Education Student and Faculty CO-OP Coordinator you may, in some cases, gain information and access to new technologies. Participation in Cooperative Education /Internships can help you in your recruiting efforts, serve as a proving ground for potential employees, and allow you to give feedback to Salt Lake Community College about education programs which train your present and future workforce.

This program is designed to be a “WIN”, “WIN”, “WIN” program for all participants.

Cooperative Education is administered through the Student Employment and Cooperative Education Services (SECES) of Salt Lake Community College. Participation in CO-OP is by permission only. Permission may be obtained through a CO-OP specialist, general SECES Employment Specialist, program faculty members, or program Division Chair. Cooperative Education Specialists are available during office hours to work with students, Employment Supervisors, and Faculty CO-OP Coordinators to help facilitate the CO-OP process.

With over twenty-five years of experience in Cooperative Education, we can assure you that the results of your investment in Cooperative Education can be well worth the time and effort you invest.

How do I Register for Cooperative Education?

Please contact Cooperative Education Services to verify qualifications. You must have a signed approval form from a Cooperative Education Specialist or a Division Chair in order to register for Cooperative Education.
