The Co-op Experience

Employer Perspective

“Having interviewed hundreds of people for full-time and co-op roles in the past eight years, you can always tell when someone went to Northeastern. There is a tangible difference in the way Northeastern's Co-op Preparation course equips students with professional skills.”
Julien Levesque DMSB'12, Senior Director, Global Product Development at Shark Ninja

Student Reflections

“My three co-ops have been incredibly formative and diverse experiences. Not only has working in three different job functions within three separate industries propelled me to narrow my interests, but the invaluable guidance I have received from my mentors in the co-op office as well as my managers on the job have also been crucial in helping me carve my career path.”
Tara Boyle BSBA'20

“I have a much clearer vision of what I want and don't want in a full-time position, which was one of my original goals when enrolling here. Graduating with so much work experience will set me apart from the competition when I join the workforce.”
