Summer 2027 Co-op Midwest
About Our College Co-op Program
As a Co-op, you will work with full-time construction professionals who provide guidance and share their expertise on various tasks. The program is designed to prepare you for full-time employment in the construction industry. You will have specific project responsibilities and daily activities that offer firsthand experience. Supervisors and project staff will structure your work to help you learn about your area of interest while contributing directly to project completion. A mentor will be assigned to support you throughout your co-op.
Upon completion of each summer term, Kokosing hosts the Co-op Capstone Event. Each co-op presents their learning and experiences from the term, meets senior-level management, and participates in interactive activities showcasing various aspects of the construction and engineering industry.
