Internships and Co-ops

Embry-Riddle Corporate Aviation Forum

What is a cooperative or internship? A co-op/internship is a structured work experience in which a student has intentional learning goals and reflects actively on what she or he is learning throughout the experience. Co-ops/Internships promote academic, career and personal development.

The co-op/internship program provides opportunities for students to:

• Gain experience in their field by reinforcing the concepts learned in the classroom
• Define career goals so more realistic job choices can be made
• Create a network of professional contacts which increases job opportunities following graduation
• Gain a competitive edge by affording work experience relevant to our existing superior program of course work and hands-on projects
• Accomplish the school-to-work transition by bridging the gap between student life and the working world
• Receive income to help with college expenses
• Add their eye-catching and valuable internship/co-op experience to resumes
• Possibly gain course credit

Students are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities to pursue cooperative learning experiences and industry internships. See a College of Arts & Sciences Faculty Advisor for more information:
