Thank you for your interest in recruiting Georgia Tech International Internship/Co-op 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, CareerBuzz, is a web-based system administered by the Center for Career Discovery and Development (C2D2) to manage Georgia Tech's Cooperative Education (Co-op), Undergraduate Professional Internship (UPI), and International Internship/Co-op (Work Abroad) programs. Please go to CareerBuzz and click on the Employers link. There is a statement that you are required to accept, and, after doing so, you should complete the information for the New Employer Profile.
