Welcome to the Global Career Center (GCC) dedicated Drexel University web page. You will find the information you need about the international co-op program options and will be able to submit your program fees via the button below.
International Co-op Program Process
For Spring / Summer 2022 all international co-op placements will be completed virtually.
You will apply via the Drexel University portal. Applications were closed and reviewed by the GCC team based on past experience and current feedback. Drexel University has communicated if your application was selected to move forward in the process.
GCC will send you a welcome email asking you to fill out a pre-placement questionnaire, including resume upload. The welcome email will also include a prompt to schedule a pre-placement meeting. That meeting must be completed by end of day Friday 17 December 2022.
The pre-placement meeting is an opportunity for GCC to learn more about your background and career or academic goals as well as provide context for international co-op opportunities in the location(s) for which your application is under consideration.
After this meeting, your university will provide an update on the status of your application, including if offer of placement in a specific city. Confirmation of acceptance with university is necessary to move forward in the process and placement. After the university shares your confirmation with GCC, the placement process moves forward to match you with a company for your international co-op placement.
Our placement process is highly personalized to you. We conduct employer outreach on your behalf based on the information you provide us. We do not pre-source placements.
International Co-op Program Dates
Spring/Summer placements take place between 28 March 2022 and 16 September 2022.
These placements are a minimum of 3-months and a maximum of 6-months.
Students will work in placements and on projects that are equivalent to professional work. The hours vary by location and employer, with a mix of synchronous ("live") meetings and asynchronous (independent) work. Anticipate about 20 hours a week on average for your co-op.
Prior to and during your international co-op, GCC will provide professional development workshops or materials covering topics ranging from how to navigate the remote workplace to networking online to interviewing via video. These workshops are augmented by virtual cultural activities related to the location in which your international co-op takes place. In addition, you will have the opportunity for individual coaching from GCC throughout and beyond your placement.
