Experiencing a Co-op/Intern Work Assignment

As a currently enrolled co-op/intern student, you are responsible for the paraprofessional aspect of your co-op/intern assignment as well as the academic aspect. In other words, you are expected not only to comply with the expectations of your employer, but with the expectations of the Career Advantage Network as well. Students are expected to turn in all forms and reports related to their assignment adequately and on time, and are expected to participate in ongoing correspondence with staff members throughout their assignment.

As a participant in the Career Advantage Network and as a University of Akron student, you have a responsibility to:

• Be a productive and responsible employee

• Represent The University of Akron with a standard of performance that will keep the relationship between the university and the employer at a high level
• Communicate on a regular basis with the University and the employer
