Experiential Education Programs at LCCC :
Internship:
A short-term, paid or unpaid, mentored work experience connected to your major. An internship is typically completed after you’ve taken some core courses and courses within your major. You can also earn academic credit.
Cooperative Education:
Also known as co-op, this is the class you take in order to earn 1-3 academic credits for your paid internship. You can use an existing job if it’s related to your major or find a position using CareerLink, our job search database.
Work-Based Learning Program:
Provides you the opportunity to translate classroom theories into practical applications on the job. It is a credit course which tells your future employers that not only did you perform to the specifications of your internship or co-op, but that you also met LCCC's standards of academic performance. Opportunities exist with local employers as well as LCCC's own Innovation Fund entrepreneurs. You can also earn redit for a current job in your field of study.
