And I’ve hired thousands of new grads in the last 30 years and only a small percentage of them had the word “co-op” on their resume. As far as a corporate employer is concerned, what you did is more important than the nomenclature. And guess what? Kids still get hired without internships, co-ops, etc. Staying on campus and working for a professor editing a book, working in a lab, a summer job giving tours to fourth graders at a museum, getting promoted to night manager at the pizza restaurant you started working in at age 17- these are all fine ways to demonstrate initiative, leadership, etc.

You don’t need a “co-op” to do that.
