Ready to learn more? Make an appointment with Lynn Giles-Harris in the LLCC Career Center.

The Cooperative Work Experience (CO-OP) is a program that allows LLCC students to earn college credit while gaining work experience for paid or unpaid internships, or for paid employment.  CO-OP participants are responsible for identifying, applying, interviewing and obtaining their own job or internship placements.

To be eligible for CO-OP, students must have completed 12 college credits.  Past participants have benefited greatly from the CO-OP Work Experience Program as they have developed and achieved learning objectives that have helped to prepare them for future career opportunities.

During your CO-OP and internship experience, you will:

• Be challenged to take on new work responsibilities or projects.
• Learn new and advanced skills to help you refine your professional abilities.
• Gain professional work experience that can set you apart from others in your career field. 
• Explore career goals and reflect upon your progress towards meeting these goals.
• Network and learn from professional mentors who may be able to serve as references in the future.
• Build your resume and grow your professional network
• Earn academic credit toward degree completion.
