Deadline to obtain an internship for Cooperative Education credits is the last day to add a class for the semester. Internships must be related to a students major. Students must have a 2.5 GPA to participate. Freshmen students are not eligible for Co-Op internships. Students may receive a maximum of 4 credits in a semester (or summer) and may take a total of no more than 8 credits in internships. Credit for each course is determined by the professor and department chair. 5 hours of on-site work per week (based on 12 weeks) is required for each semester credit (except for summer). Principle for Professional Conduct The vital relationships that exist between employer, college, and student demand the highest levels of professionalism, and the Cooperative Education Code of Ethics is such a foundation for professionalism. The principles outlined in this document are designed to serve as guides for professional conduct. Endorsement of these principles will benefit all those involved in this unique process, and if put into practice, will reduce the potential for abuse. The principles are intended to serve as a framework within which professionalism can be promoted. Students Students should honor the policies and procedures of their respective institutions of higher learning. Students should honor the personnel policies of their employers. Students should present their qualifications and interests as accurately as possible when interviewing for a Cooperative Education position. Students should interview and complete other employment procedures only if there is a sincere and genuine intention to accept the Cooperative Education position, if offered. Students should notify the employer of acceptance or rejection of employment offers at the earliest possible time. After accepting an offer, students should withdraw from the job seeking process and notify the college or university and other employers with whom offers may be pending. College and University Cooperative Education Professionals Cooperative education professionals are responsible for establishing and monitoring practices that ensure the fair and accurate representation of students and the cooperative education program to employers. Cooperative education professionals should respect student rights covered state and federal privacy laws. Cooperative education professionals should promote and follow non-discriminatory practices. Cooperative education professionals should promote the concept of cooperative education in general in addition to promoting their own cooperative education program. Cooperative education professionals should strive to develop new work opportunities for their students rather than pursuing coop positions developed by other institutions. The right of employer to choose employees based upon their credentials should be respected. Employer Cooperative Education Professionals Employer Cooperative Education professionals are responsible for the ethical and legal conduct of their employees through the cooperative education process. Employer Cooperative Education professionals should respect the legal obligations of cooperative education professionals and request only those services or information that can legally be provided. Employer Cooperative Education professionals should not misrepresent positions offered. Employer Cooperative Education professionals should honor the policies and procedures of individual colleges and universities. Employer Cooperative Education professionals should not ask students to participate in any activities that are unethical or illegal. Employer Cooperative Education professionals should consider the long range career plans or the individual student as opposed to the immediate needs of the agency or company before extending offers of full-time employment before the student has completed his or her certificate or degree. Employer Cooperative Education professionals should make every effort to honor offers of cooperative education employment once they have been formally extended. The Role of Employers A successful Cooperative Education program depends largely upon the quality and quantity of participating employers. Involved companies and organizations decide what positions can be filled by coop students. They also determine pay scales, supervisors, required skills, and other normal personnel functions before the coop student can begin work with the company. Assessing Needs The first activity employers should undertake is to decide how extensive their program should be and determining: The number of positions to be made The prerequisite skill or training Pay scales Security clearance Length of service Part-time or Full-time Specific functions and duties of the student  HYPERLINK "http://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/330/148/" Walling v. Portland Terminal Co. enumerates six requirements companies must satisfy to use pay-free interns: Even though the internship includes the employers actual business operations, it must be similar to training in an educational environment; The experience is for the benefit of the intern; The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under the close supervision of existing staff; The employer derives no immediate advantage from the interns activities, and its operations may sometimes be impeded; The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job after the internship; and The employer and intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages. Benefits to Employers Lower Recruitment Costs Recruiting qualified personnel is expensive and time consuming. The Cooperative Education program allows employers to bring in students as part-time or full-time workers and train them on specific areas of need. When the students graduate, the employer has the potential for built-in, pre-trained employees ready to begin full-time career employment. The number of job offers accepted versus those extended is over thirteen times higher for Cooperative Education students as opposed to recent college graduates. A survey made by the Detroit Institute of Technology shows the same 13 to 1 ratio in recruitment costs. Cooperative Education students cost $50 each to recruit on average as contrasted with $800 each for recent non coop ed graduates. Improved Retention The same Detroit Institute of Technology survey as cited above shows that 53.2% of undergraduate coop students who stay with a company more than one year become permanent employees. Contrast this to only 25% of the workers hired out of college and who have also been with the company more than one year. Increased Productivity A Cooperative Education students work performance both during the coop period and after graduation has been shown to be higher than other traditional students. From an analysis of nearly 1300 work periods involving 615 employees over a ten year period based on a 4.0 rating scale; coop students achieved a 2.82 average, coop graduates achieved 3.03 average and all other graduates earned a 2.89 average. This data supports the empirical assertion that graduates are better career employees. More Efficient Use of Professional Staff It should be stressed that coop students are temporary employees who perform a valuable amount of work for wages normally below the professional scale of their field. In addition to the simple calculations of cost versus volume of work, it should be stressed that Cooperative Education students are pre-trained when hired after graduation. Reduced training requirements mean reduced labor costs and increased productivity. Summary Cooperative Education provides industry and education an opportunity to build better relationships. When employers get involved with coop, everyone wins. The students get valuable training and experience in a real setting. The employer gets a potential career employee. The university gets industry awareness and cooperation in many areas of education.     +  1 _ ` i a#$5ij #4yPZ]n󶝶󝶝h0h+5CJaJhzAh+CJaJhzAhE05CJ\aJhzAhLqCJaJhzAh05CJaJhzACJaJh cCJaJh0h+CJaJh0hLqCJaJh0hLq5CJaJ9+4 f R  1 _ ` i $ & Fa$gd+ ^`$a$gd+* & F$d%d&d'dNOPQgd+* & F$d%d&d'dNOPQgd+$a$gd0 Lijt:yP$h^ha$ $ & Fa$gd+$a$ $ & Fa$gd+$a$gd0 p^p` $ & Fa$gd+/\^_DE{^I:hzAhzAB*CJaJph)hzAhzA0JCJaJeh@r@8hzAhzA0J5B*CJ]aJeh@phr@,hzAhzA0J5CJaJeh@r@5jhzAhzA0J5CJUaJeh@r@hzAhzACJaJhzAhLq5>*CJ\aJh0hLq5CJaJhzA5CJaJhzAhE05CJ\aJhzAh+CJaJhzAhLqCJaJ//\]^6 & FgdzAh^hgdzA$a$gdzA $ & Fa$gd+ $h`ha$gd+ $h^ha$gd+$a$gd0DE[sb!c!v!"""$$$&&&'''''''gdzA $^a$gd+$a$gd0$^a$ & FgdzAE[s 0 3 < = D c!v!""""""$$%%%%%%&&''''''''''ٻhTjhTUhzAhkCJaJhzAh+CJaJhzAhLqCJaJhzAhLq5>*CJ\aJh0hLq5CJaJ(''''' $^a$gd+gdzA21h:pzA/ =!"#@$@% 9 01h:pzA/ =!"#@$@% P 5 01h:pzA/ =!"#@$@% ^ 666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666662 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~_HmH nH sH tH @`@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH D@D  Heading 1$$@&a$ 5CJ \DA`D Default Paragraph FontViV  Table Normal :V 44 la (k (No List 6>@6 Title$a$ 5CJ$\4B@4 Body Text$a$H@H 0 Balloon TextCJOJQJ^JaJ4U`!4 zA0 Hyperlink >*ph.X`1. zA@Emphasis6]H`BH zA No SpacingCJ_HaJmH sH tH 4@R4 zA0Header  H$6/a6 zA0 Header CharCJaJ4 @r4 zA0Footer  H$6/6 zA0 Footer CharCJaJPK![Content_Types].xmlN0EH-J@%ǎǢ|ș$زULTB l,3;rØJB+$G]7O٭V$ !)O^rC$y@/yH*񄴽)޵߻UDb`}"qۋJחX^)I`nEp)liV[]1M<OP6r=zgbIguSebORD۫qu gZo~ٺlAplxpT0+[}`jzAV2Fi@qv֬5\|ʜ̭NleXdsjcs7f W+Ն7`g ȘJj|h(KD- dXiJ؇(x$( :;˹!
