Internships/Co-Ops

Many job places create jobs that are intended for students that are called internships and do not require that the students be enrolled in an internship class while they are doing the internship. They are usually short-term jobs that are used to attract future, fulltime employees or they are a cheap way to get some technology work done during tight budget times. Organizations can use internships as a way of testing whether they should offer a person a fulltime job. But sometimes these internships are just a result of economic decisions made by organizations. They can afford to pay for short term interns, who make less money than fulltime employees and can help to finish a project that can be done in a short period of time. Are these worthwhile? They can offer great experience that you can list on your resume when looking for that first job after graduation
