bullet Employers
 
  EMPLOYERS gain the fresh insights, talents and goal-oriented commitment of mature students who are invested in achieving measurable results. Because students are seeking 'upper level' professional practice experiences, supervisors may delegate responsibilities to co-op interns, who lighten the work load! While there is no requirement to permanently hire UMUC co-op students, the opportunity to evaluate performance during a 15-week session provides a known, trained candidate who may fulfill hiring standards. Students can perform part or full time work, as they are able to leverage UMUC's flexible formats for completing course work. Also, because UMUC's Co-op staff provides pre-screening of candidates, employer recruitment costs may be reduced. Co-op merges the best practices of human resources development with organizational development in the current knowledge economy.
