Getting
Experience
Related work experience is something employers repeatedly look for
on a resume. But how can you get experience while you're trying
to get an education? Combine them! Experiential Education allows
you to gain work experience while still a student at La Salle. It's
easy, it's painless and it can open many doors for you. Three available
options are:
Co-ops
(Cooperative Education)
A
co-op allows you to work full- or part-time during the school year
for a 3 - 6 month period. You can gain valuable experience while
working in a professional position that is related to your major
or career interests. All co-op assignments are paid experiences
and offer academic credit.
Co-op requires careful academic planning, so inquire about it during
the early years of your academic career at La Salle. Review the
links below then make an appointment with the Experiential Education
Coordinator to discuss how co-op can work for you.
Why should I do a Co-op?
