University of Alabama
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — More than 280 University of Alabama students are receiving hands-on and advanced education experiences with dozens of companies and organizations across the United States through the university’s Cooperative Education Program for summer.
Among the students participating is Robert Bergstone of Salisbury, who will work at Michelin North America.
In the Cooperative Education Program, students alternate periods of full-time study with periods of full-time employment. The program offers work related to the academic major or career interests of each student.
While in school, students carry regular course schedules. While on co-op, they work with professionals in their fields who supervise their training and work. At work, co-op students earn competitive salaries and may receive benefit packages in addition to valuable job experience. Participants maintain their full-time student status while at work and have priority registration status each semester through graduation.
