Prepare To Be Part Of Some Of
Our Most Challenging Programs...
The Cooperative Education Program is a great way to start your NASA Career. This program gives you an opportunity to combine your academic studies with on-the job training and experience-it's a great opportunity to work on exciting NASA projects, earn money, take advantage of an excellent benefit package and complete your education. There are a couple of important differences between the Co-op Program and an Internship. The Co-op Program requires students to alternate between periods of academic study with equal periods of work. Another distinction is the Co-op Program is designed to train and develop students during participation in the Program for the possibility of conversion for full time employment upon graduation. An internship is generally during one academic term, usually during the summer months, and does not allow for conversion to full time employment upon graduation.
