International Co-op Program Process
For 2025 all international co-op placements will be completed onsite however students should expect a mix of in person and online work based on the host organization.
​
You will apply through the University of Toledo and must be accepted to participate in the program by the College of Engineering.
​
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.
​
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 locations that the College of Engineering is offering.
​
After this meeting, you will reconfirm your commitment to participate in the program and choose the location you are most interested in for your co-op. GCC will then begin the placement process.
