Co-Op Program for Employers

Temple Engineering Co-op’s offer employers:

• access to young, energetic and motivated future engineering professionals.
• semester work cycles that benefit employers’ seasonally varying workloads.
• the chance to improve work productivity and quality at minimal cost.
• the opportunity to both give back to the engineering profession, and enhance an organization’s staff by training co-op students and identifying high-quality
  candidates for future full-time employment.

THE TEMPLE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING DIFFERENCE
Co-op students are unique because they:

• learn in smaller classes—often just 10 to 20 students—that offer more one-on-one interchange with professors.
• represent an exceptionally diverse student population at the only large public university located in the Philadelphia region that offers an engineering program.
• understand the importance of taking advantage of opportunities, such as co-op assignments.
• are available to employers year-round, not just part-time or during summer breaks, thanks to Temple’s semester cycles.
• attend mandatory workshops and employment pre-screenings before their
  first work cycle.
• are considered full-time students while employed and are governed by Temple University policies and procedures.
