By joining the University's vast network of co-op partners, organizations are able to develop a more streamlined approach to recruitment by establishing a talent pipeline to motivated, enthusiastic, and qualified job candidates able to address talent gaps and maximize internal efficiencies.
For over 100 years, Drexel's renowned cooperative education (co-op)
program has connected employers to the next generation of workforce
leaders. Drexel Co-op offers employers a host of advantages, including an unlimited resource of motivated and skilled future professionals, six-month employment cycles that provide flexible scheduling options, and the opportunity to tap into the Greater Philadelphia region's most qualified job candidates before they join the workforce. Our partners, though, quickly find
the benefits afforded by this relationship can extend even beyond those
provided by co-op, as Drexel offers a wide array of ways to connect with
students and University community members to effectively raise brand
awareness, including our three annual career fairs, guest panel
discussions, on-campus information sessions, event sponsorship
opportunities, and more.
