The Labovitz School of Business and Economics has made available opportunities for students to gain valuable job experience related to their respective field of study prior to graduation. Work-integrated learning, commonly referred to as Cooperative Education, is celebrating its 100-year anniversary in 2006. What started out as a means of training better engineering graduates has spread to all fields of collegiate study.

I have been working with internship programs for over 30 years at the collegiate level, and was a Co-op student as an undergraduate. From these experiences I have observed first-hand what an internship experience can provide. For some students it can be the first step toward a future job, others use the experience to acquire new skills and knowledge of processes, or conduct a self-assessment (how well are you prepared for a given occupation), or learn something about yourself through a reflective view about your life. In almost all instances, friends are made, future contacts have been established, and in some cases a whole new world may open up you did not know existed before.

If this is something you would like to be a part of, contact Dr. Duane Kaas, Room SBE 45, phone or e-mail at (218) 726-6118, dkaas@d.umn.edu
