COOPERATIVE EDUCATION

Cooperative Education at UW-Stout is part of a nationwide university initiative that integrates career-related work experience with academic coursework. Our Career Services office coordinates with academic departments of the university to create successful co-op experiences. The co-op program supports UW-Stout’s polytechnic designation by providing students the opportunity to experience an active and applied focus on learning in their professional fields, and provides employers with exceptional temporary assistance. Over 30% of co-op employers offer students permanent positions upon graduation.

UW-Stout’s successful co-op program is based on our framework of collaborative partnerships with businesses like yours.
