Students can earn and learn with our employer partners in a variety of ways
Internship + Short-Term Placement
Internship and Short-Term Placement roles are meant to expose students to a variety of industries, companies and departments for the purpose of career exploration, networking and resume building while earning money.
Co-Op Model
The AdvanceEDU Co-Op is similar to an internship but involves a longer paid relationship with an employer while you are working on your degree. Co-op roles align with future career opportunities at participating companies. Students who complete the co-op can earn money and build resume experience while they pursue a degree with an AdvanceEDU partner.
Direct Placement
Direct placement roles are curated specifically for the student to leverage their earned degree and get on the job training while working in their desired field. These opportunities are full-time, typically salaried positions with AdvanceEDU’s employer network.
