As a current or potential employer, how does NJIT’s Newark College of Engineering (NCE) Cooperative Education Program benefit you?

In the news, we constantly hear about the critical shortage of skilled employees, particularly in the fields of technology, science, math and engineering. As an employer, you have first-hand experience losing good people and know the work involved in trying to retain good employees or find new ones.

Our program integrates skilled and carefully selected engineering students into your workplace in a way that makes strong business sense. These students bring current and relevant skills to your work teams, allowing you the organizational flexibility to move other key personnel to more senior tasks.

NJIT NCE 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 NYC Metro region's most qualified job candidates before they join the work force.

Consider the advantages that NJIT NCE students offer participating organizations:

• Co-op students are available to employers year-round, not just part-time or during summer breaks, thanks to NJIT NCE's recurring six-month employment cycles.
• Co-op students attend a mandatory classroom orientation before their first employment experience.
• Co-op students reflect on what they practice in the workplace and how it relates to their classroom learning.
• Co-op students are considered full-time students while employed and are governed by NJIT policies and procedures.
• Beyond staffing, you and your organization gain community respect. You will create goodwill as the community learns of your support of local college students.

Cooperative Education provides your organization with an "inside track" for staffing the technical ranks. It's very simple to initiate a relationship with NJIT NCE's Cooperative Education. Just visit our Career Development Center (CDS).

Undergraduate Summer Research Applications
 

​

​NCE’s students are our greatest asset. Our graduate and undergraduate students work side-by-side with faculty members in labs on key projects, and many students devise research projects of their own. Through internships and through NJIT’s co-op program – which gives students the opportunity to receive course credit at paid professional job placements during the academic year – undergraduates gain invaluable real-world work experience. After graduation, our students go on to successful careers as leaders and innovators, both in the world of engineering and in a diversity of other industries.

• in undergraduate, graduate and continuing professional education, providing a diverse body of aspiring future engineering professionals and entrepreneurs and engineering leaders and educators with a learning environment that prepares them for lifelong careers, growth and personal achievement;  
• in the conduct of research for the creation of knowledge that lays the foundation for bringing about advances in engineering practices that improve the quality of life of the citizens of the state, the Nation and the global community;
• in the service to the NJIT community, engineering profession and the society at large, supporting the various activities of NJIT as a public urban research university, transforming the state-of-the-art of knowledge into state-of-the-art of practice in industry and the engineering profession, and promoting environmentally sound technology for sustainable economical growth;
• in contributing to the state’s economic development through partnerships and joint ventures with the business community and through the development of intellectual property in new engineering and technology methods, processes, or products.
