Co-op Development Option

If you are ready to transition to a new career or are currently engaged in a job search, now is the time to consider participating in the Co-op Job Development Seminar at UMUC. The seminar is designed to give you the tools to complete a targeted job search related to your academic discipline.

The Co-op Development Option is available only for students seeking the following degrees:

BioTech/Lab Management
Criminal Justice
Emergency Management
Gerontology
Homeland Security
Investigative Forensics
Legal Studies
Security Management
Security Operation

The Co-op Job Development Seminar is offered in two formats:

a face-to-face two-hour seminar in Adelphi, Maryland,
an online interactive seminar you can attend through WebTycho.

You can register for either seminar through our Web site.The seminar includes follow up with a Co-op counselor who will help you refine your resume and prepare you for a successful interview. Although Co-op is not a job placement service, we will refer your résumé to employers as the opportunity arises. More importantly, we give you the tools to conduct a successful job search on your own. If you are interested in the Co-op Job Development Seminar, you should make sure you plan for the time it takes to locate a new position, enroll, and complete your Co-op course before graduation.

Ideally, you will enroll in Co-op within the first two weeks after you begin a new position. The Co-op course typically lasts 15 weeks.
