Internships, Co-ops, & Research

How to Find an Internship or Co-op

Start early! Many employers recruit a year in advance, so plan ahead.

Use ePack  - NC State's career platform - to find opportunities.

Network with professors, alumni, and student orgs like AIChE.

Go to career fairs and employer events to connect with recruiters.

The Cooperative Education (Co-Op) Program is your opportunity to gain hands-on job experience while pursuing a degree. Through alternating semesters of full-time study and full-time work experience, you can: Be well-paid for your hard work, strengthen your job prospects after graduation, and so much more!

• The first step to co-op is to attend an info session to get connected with your co-op coordinator. See more information here.

• Find faculty research areas and reach out to professors whose work interests you.
