About Co-op at SCC

Cooperative Education is a program which combines classroom theory with supervised work experience. Students have the opportunity to earn college credit for planned growth in a job that is related to their career goals. A joint agreement is set up among the employer, the college, and the student to facilitate this process.

At Scottsdale Community College, Cooperative Education is available to students in nearly every discipline. Students must satisfy specific requirements in order to enroll in the program. The Cooperative Education Coordinator meets with students to determine their eligibility and to assist them in locating suitable positions which relate to their field of study. Students who presently have jobs which are relevant to their course work may obtain permission from their employers to have the work experience count for co-op credit.
