Summer 2027 Co-op Midwest
About the Co-op Program
Kokosing’s Co-op Program is designed to provide practical construction industry experience, the chance to work on value-added projects, connect with a mentor in your field of study, network with senior leaders, team members, and other co-ops, and more. We are looking for students interested in a co-op experience for the Spring, Summer, or Fall semesters to train the next group of leaders who reflect our core values and culture of safety.
As a Co-op, you will work alongside full-time construction professionals who provide guidance and share expertise on various tasks. The program prepares you for full-time employment in industry roles by assigning specific project responsibilities and daily activities that let you experience the industry firsthand. Supervisors and project staff structure your work to help you learn about your area of interest while contributing directly to project completion. A mentor is assigned for any questions or support you may need during your co-op.
Upon completion of each summer term, Kokosing hosts a Co-op Capstone Event where each co-op presents the culmination of their learning and experiences. This event also provides the opportunity to meet senior-level management and includes interactive activities showcasing various aspects of the construction and engineering industry.
