Hiring Co-op Students
RIT is a nationally recognized leader in cooperative education. All
RIT/NTID programs, including those at the associate degree level,
include mandatory or optional cooperative work experiences (co-op), or
some other form of experiential education, such as field placements or
internships.
RIT/NTID requires no formal agreement with employers to establish a
co-op hiring relationship.
Why should I hire a co-op student?
- Co-op students can fill a variety of short-term staffing needs from temporary to flexible work blocks.
- Co-operative work experiences provide an opportunity to evaluate potential employees on a short-term commitment basis.
- Co-op students bring new ideas into your organization.
- Hiring an RIT/NTID co-op student enables you to diversify your workforce.
How does co-op work?
- Students work full-time for at least 10 weeks in a job related to their program of study.
- Employers establish the same job requirements for co-op students as other employees and complete a job performance evaluation form.
Does NTID provide any oversight for the student?
NCE arranges visits to selected co-op students and supervisors to improve our services to both.
How can I hire a deaf or hard-of-hearing student?
It's easy. All you need to do is request candidates and tell us about your staffing needs.
