Co-ops and Internships
Now, more than ever, future employers expect college graduates to have relevant work experience. Gaining hands-on experience through an internship or co-op will give you an edge over the competition. You will gain a better understanding of the world of business, while gaining confidence and insight regarding your career path.
300 employers recruited SIUE business students through on-campus career fairs last year
SIUE’s proximity to St. Louis, home to nine Fortune 500 companies, allows students to gain real-world experience. Business students find internships, co-ops and full-time jobs with major corporations such as The Boeing Company, Nestle Purina, Emerson, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Anheuser-Busch, Edward Jones and more.
