"It's a good feeling to create a product or application that people will actually be using and knowing it will actually benefit their work. Going into a meeting and showing what you have completed and are working towards, and hearing how it's exactly what was needed and that you got it done faster than expected is always nice and very motivating."
-Paisley Davis, Computer Science Co-op Student at Ednetics
"By doing a co-op and performing my duties well, I've increased my chances of working at the same company or another one in the future. My colleagues/supervisors have seen my capabilities and worth ethic, so they have "vetted" me and can recommend me to an employer."
-Alex Kiss, Mechanical Engineering Co-op Student at BorgWarner
"First and foremost, [our Co-op student] came into Micron as a Software Developer. At the time, he was unsure if he wanted to continue down that career path or not. He was very nervous about the work, and unsure of himself. As he learned, worked, and grew, you could see his confidence grow and he came out of it with a greater interest in Software Development. One of the greatest skills [he] developed over time is a better understanding of 'Customers.'"
-Co-op Supervisor, Micron Technology
