Cooperative education (co-op) and internship programs are great opportunities for employers within the architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry to attract engineering students to the industry. The students learn about the industry, build a resume with relevant experience in their chosen field, and develop skills to help them in whichever direction they choose to take their career, all before college graduation. For the employer, the program is an excellent method of filling entry-level positions—they already have a terrific understanding of the candidate thanks to the time spent training and working with them.
