• LIU-Brooklyn Campus Cooperative Education Program
  Cooperative Education integrates academic study with career-related professional work experience. The program enables undergraduate students to work in a field related to their career interests, while in school. Cooperative Education students learn about the world of work and workplace etiquette by taking our Coop 1: Career Readiness course. All students also work one-on-one with a Career Counselor through their Coop experience-and their academic career at LIU-Brooklyn Campus.  Our program is ongoing, so students may begin their work placement anytime during the year, depending on employers’ needs. Students may continue their work beyond the initial assignment, if requested by the employer. If the student is not available, we will find another candidate for you. The program provides employers with an excellent source of motivated, pre-trained, and focused employees to assist you on a short- or long-term basis or with special projects.
