COOPERATIVE EDUCATION AND CAREER SERVICES Tammy Loud Executive Director, Cooperative Education Services 4th Floor CC, 810-762-9648 tloud@kettering.edu COOPERATIVE EDUCATION AND CAREER SERVICES At Kettering University, cooperative education is a mandatory academic program. It is a three-way partnership agreement between a student, an employer, and Kettering. The mission of the program is to provide students with progressively more responsible and productive experience related to, and consistent with, their academic program and professional goals. Cooperative Education at Kettering is based on an alternating plan. The students alternate every 12 weeks between classroom study and work experience. The baccalaureate program requires a minimum 1.5 years of full-time co-op work experience (5 terms) plus two thesis terms. What It's All About The ultimate goals of the Kettering Cooperative Education Program are: • Development of strong and positive correlation between a student's academic program at the school and the educational experience with their employer. • Provide educational experiences that orient and integrate the student into a productive and professional role at the employer organization. • Development of positive work-related habits and characteristics in a student. One Program, One Employer The Kettering Cooperative Education Program is designed to achieve the educational and career goals of students in conjunction with meeting the future human resource needs of co-op employers. Because it is an academic program, Kettering students are expected to remain with the same employer throughout the entire program. Experience has shown that, in most cases, it is more advantageous for the student to progress within one organization, than to change from one to another. Each time a student begins with a new organization, they start over in the learning process and are often given beginner tasks and responsibilities. Staying with the same organization through the entire program has proven to increase interest and responsibility afforded to the student. There are appropriate reasons for some students to request a new co-op employer (reassignment) or for employers to terminate a student. Kettering will consider reassignment only after it has been determined that reassignment would be in the best interest of the student and the employer (see below: Changing Partners). It should be recognized that changes in assignment are permitted but are not granted solely on the basis of student financial gain, personal commitments or assumed responsibilities.

Careful attention is given to the student’s objectives, needs, and preferences. While most students obtain co-op employment through the efforts of the Kettering staff, many students assist in the process by initiating contact with potential co-op employers that are appropriate to their objectives. The Cooperative Education staff will work with students who wish to pursue new co-op employers. Co-op employers choose to interview an applicant based on the student’s academic background, employment history, skills, extracurricular activities and honors. Factors that may influence selection by a co-op employer include communication skills, leadership potential, vocational interest, desire for a career in business and industry and the capacity to acquire the necessary academic and practical background for a future position of responsibility. Section Assignments A-Section students begin school in July; B-Section students begin school in October. Kettering University assigns students into a section based upon space and class-load balance. The University will attempt to meet student requests, but has the right to determine section assignments. Co-op employers may also request section assignments for students based upon their co-op hiring needs. Co-op Registration All students are automatically registered in their cooperative work experience term. Students are allowed to register for a maximum of eight credits of coursework while registered for a co-op or thesis term. Co-op Credit To receive credit for a cooperative work term, each student must have on file both the Supervisor and Student Evaluation of the co-op experience. The supervisor's evaluation of the student's co-op experience must be signed by the student and the employer. A student must work at least six weeks (250 hours) of the twelve-week term and receive a "satisfactory" grade to have the work experience count toward graduation requirements. Work Experience Evaluations The student's performance during a cooperative work experience term is evaluated by the student's supervisor assigned for that term by the co-op employer. This evaluation is required by Kettering and is kept on file for five years after graduation or separation from the University. The cooperative work experience terms are evaluated on a "satisfactory/unsatisfactory" grading scheme. No academic credit, quality points or hours are earned through the work experience requirements of the program. Changing Co-op Partners Students desiring a change in co-op employer must meet with their Kettering University Co-op Manager to discuss the reason(s) for the request. The reason must also be set forth in writing and provided to the Co-op Manager. Requests for reassignment must be approved by the cooperative education review team. Students must not initiate a discussion with a prospective new employer without the knowledge and approval from the Cooperative Education Office. It should be emphasized that any deviation from this policy, or unilateral student action to secure a new co-op employer without prior approval may result in that student jeopardizing receiving work experience credits for graduation and/or being placed on probation. The Cooperative Education Office will assist students who are granted permission to seek new co-op employment. All students available for reassignment will be given access to the current co-op database, enabling their resumé to be sent to co-op employers currently seeking coop students with similar profiles (academic major, skills, etc.). Students seeking reassignment are required to follow these guidelines. • Students are not allowed to request co-op employer reassignment until they have successfully completed three work terms. Students, who believe they have extenuating circumstances, may appeal in writing. • Any student who initiates reassignment must do so in writing indicating the reason(s) for this action. Included with this should be copies of all past evaluations from student and employer, current academic transcript, confirmation from the student's current co-op employer of their understanding of this request, and any other relevant information. • Students seeking reassignment must take a proactive role in pursuing new co-op employment with assistance from the Cooperative Education staff. • Students must remain in good academic standing. • To graduate, students seeking reassignment must still meet all academic and work experience requirements. The Cooperative Education Office is prepared to help guide and assist all students as they continue to grow with their organizations and move toward graduation. Please contact a Cooperative Education Manager for advice and counsel before making any change to your cooperative education program.
