The Cooperative Education/Internship Program at Notre Dame College allows you to gain real world experience while earning your degree. This work experience will give you a competitive edge over other college graduates when you begin searching for your first job after college. The Co-op/internship must be in an area that relates to your academic studies in your major field. By completing a Co-op/internship prior to graduation, you will be able to show prospective employers that you have actual work experience in your field. Additionally, a Co-op/Internship often times helps you to decide the area(s) you want to pursue within your chosen field of study, or whether to change your focus to another area of study. Finally, the Co-op/internship gives you experience in interviewing and possible networking for a permanent position after graduation. The Co-op/Internship program at Notre Dame College is a “win-win” situation for you. Although it is mandatory for all Bachelor of Arts degree candidates, all students are encouraged to participate in the program.
