Employer Requirements

• You will receive an email to “Approve” or “Deny” the experiential learning (Co-op or internship) record completed by the student at the beginning of each term
• You will receive an email to complete the online Employer Evaluation Form at the end of each term

• Employers, please be advised that the SIUE Career Development Center will not advertise Co-op or internship positions or permit on-campus recruiting for the following:

  • Companies that require Co-op or internship students to sign non-compete agreements. We believe that this practice with respect to students is not in keeping with our office’s mission, and ultimately is not in the best interest of our students, as it can limit their future employment opportunities, without sufficient consideration.
  • Companies that require Co-op or internship students to pay any fees to participate in the experience
