Co-ops & Careers
Wentworth Institute of Technology takes pride in our reputation for preparing students with the skills and knowledge they need to excel in high-demand careers in the modern workforce. This begins in the classroom and is bolstered by our exceptional cooperative education program, which provides invaluable on-the-job experience that directly translates to higher earnings and accelerated career growth.

By partnering with co-op employers that are leading industry organizations, Wentworth's co-op program lets students find solutions to real-world problems while working in their chosen fields while fostering valuable professional connections that are crucial to success in the modern workforce.
By integrating a hands-on approach into academics, in the classroom, and on experiential co-ops, Wentworth prioritizes the long-term career success of our students. We aim to empower our graduates to reach new heights and make a meaningful impact in their respective industries.
