COOPERATIVE ED / INTERNSHIP

 

COOPERATIVE EDUCATION (INTERNSHIP) INFORMATION

Cooperative Education is a wonderful opportunity to get college credit for field work 1 credit hour is equal to 30 hours in the field of the course of the term.  Most coops are 3 credits  and are about 7-8 hours per week.  You will have a site supervisor as well as a college instructor. The college instructor will have a syllabus outlining their requirements and the site supervisor will have their expectations outlined in the learning objectives.  It is up to the student to locate their own site and competitively interview for the opening. Faculty and I are available to assist you in finding a coop site. This field experience is a wonderful way to put classroom knowledge to use, build a professional reputation in the field and earn a relevant work reference.

PCC – Uses the terms “Internship” and “Cooperative Education, Co-op” interchangeably

Here are the program’s requirements and process:

We require 20 weeks for an internship with an average of 6-8 hours per work.  Students need to apply 4 weeks before the start of the term. here is the link to the application

They must pass a background check and  they can’t have crimes where youth have been hurt. Drug offenses can be okay if it was over 10 years and any detailed explanation on what they did to complete their required stipulations can help them. Any references they can share are good and demonstration of moving forward is helpful.

An intern can expect to learn about Restorative Justice practices, working with youth in the community, and the juvenile justice system. We have a great team of dedicated staff to learn from and field experience and administrative experiences for students.
