Student Co-Op Program

Intern: Paid internship assignments are designed for undergraduate and graduate level students. In order to meet basic qualifications, students should have completed their sophomore year and have some academic preparation in an engineering discipline specific to the needs of BakerRisk. The goal of our student intern/co-op program is to create a training ground for future employees. The students are reporting to an experienced manager who provides guidance and mentorship during the 12-week internship. This position counts toward academic credit.

Cooperative Education (Co-op): A co-op assignment is generally completed by a student over one or more semesters/quarters. The concept of cooperative education is based on paid work typically for 7 to 8 months. The student may receive academic credit for the work being performed. Please coordinate with your school to determine if you are eligible to receive credit. In order to meet basic qualifications, students should have completed their sophomore year and have some academic preparation in an engineering field.

BakerRisk does not offer internships for students until they have completed at least one co-op term with us.

Resumes are accepted in September during the Fall semester university career fair cycle.

Intern assignments are generally available for prior co-op students during the summer months, starting in May or June and ending in August. Co-op opportunities are longer. The Spring/Summer term goes from January through August and the Summer/Fall term is from June through December.
