On behalf of Northeastern University’s College of Computer & Information Science (CCIS) Co-op Team, we want to thank you for your interest in mentoring and supervising a co-op student. We hope you will find the experience a rewarding one and that the Co-op Program will become a major source of talent for your company.
As our Northeastern University employers have learned over the past 100 years, Cooperative education (“co-op”) has many benefits for employers. By hiring only two students, you get the equivalent of a full-time year-round employee for substantially less than it would cost to hire a professional. You get intelligent, motivated students from one of the most academically challenging programs at Northeastern, who are eager to work and learn. Co-op can also serve as an excellent recruiting tool by allowing you to “test-drive” potential permanent employees with no long-term commitment. Through co-op, you get the chance to lure the best and the brightest into your company before the competition can.
