How to Get Started as a Georgia Tech Work Abroad Employer
Thank you for your interest in recruiting Georgia Tech Work Abroad students. Our staff is available to assist you in making your recruiting needs successful. In an effort to create a positive recruiting experience for everyone involved, we ask that you follow these guidelines.
Georgia Tech defines a co-op job OR internship as a paid, full-time position in which students work on projects that are related to their major and are important to their employer.
Co-ops/Interns must receive timely instruction and feedback from a supervisor and have a mentor-like relationship with someone in the organization who can teach them about the organization and the industry as a whole.
Work Abroad opportunities include co-op, internship, graduate, and undergraduate work experiences. Opportunities are available during summer, fall, and/or spring semesters.
Employers may recruit only for existing jobs or those which will exist by the time a candidate is available for employment. We prefer that interviews be scheduled and conducted by the organization's employees, rather than by third-party representatives, unless there is an established exclusive contract set up for you to recruit co-ops/interns for a particular company.
Our database system, P2D2 (Professional Practice Division Database), is a web-based system administered by the Division of Professional Practice (DoPP) to manage Georgia Tech's Cooperative Education (Co-op), Undergraduate Professional Internship (UPI), and Work Abroad (WA) programs. Please go to P2D2 and click on the New Employers link below the login section.
