Northern Virginia Community College– Annandale Campus
The Cooperative Education Program

The Cooperative Education Program enables students and employers to benefit from each other's needs and services. Students are able to gain experience and academic credit with the assistance of faculty and on-site professionals, and employers are able to gain access to a source of highly motivated and productive employees. If students meet the academic qualifications (having a 2.0 cumulative GPA; 15 earned credits and 6 credits in their major), students may complete a maximum of 3 semesters of co-op through NVCC and may enroll during any semester, however, they should submit materials 30 days prior to the end of the previous semester when they want to begin their co-op. Students may work part-time or full time and are required to register for the co-op course where they will complete a series of assignments. Internships may be paid or unpaid, but we do encourage employers to at least assist students in covering the cost of their transportation. Employers may learn more about their role in the co-op program at http://www.nvcc.edu/campuses-and-centers/annandale/academic-divisions/

Korea-US Science Cooperation Center

The NVTC is cooperating with the Korea-US Science Cooperation Center (KUSCO) in an exciting and innovative new exchange program, between the U.S. and South Korea. The major purpose of this program is to enable young Korean university students to come to the United States and participate in a professional internship, preceded by a period of intensive study of English. These interns, whose English must be at a high level even to participate, will be available to work with NVTC member companies for a period of up to one year. KUSCO has been designated by the U.S. Department of State as a sponsor of this program (called the WEST Program - Work, English, Study, Training) and with it comes the right and responsibility to issue the paperwork necessary for the J-1 Exchange Visitor visa to be issued to our participants. With that visa, our interns have the right to work legally in the USA, they will have social security numbers, and are obligated to file and pay U.S. taxes as well. In addition, KUSCO will provide health and accident insurance for each participant. For further information, contact the KUSCO WEST Program Director Jim Kelman at: 703-942-8470, by email at: jkelman@kusco.org, and check out KUSCO's website: www.kusco.org
