International Co-op Program Process
For Spring / Summer 2023 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 committment 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.
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.
