Working alongside professionals in their field, Arconic co-ops have the opportunity to sharpen their skills by applying their education to real-world complexities through hands-on learning. A co-op with Arconic will provide you with invaluable experience that you could utilize in any role, and it is Arconic’s goal to evaluate its co-op associates for potential entry-level openings, although full-time employment after completion of the program is not guaranteed.

The Arconic Co-Op program requires that a student spend two semesters employed in a full-time capacity at one of our locations. Arconic prefers that the student alternates between education and employment so the student can build off what they’ve learned in school and what they’ve experienced working with Arconic.

An Engineering co-op associate will be assigned as a manager and a mentor for each rotation. They may or may not be the same for both rotations. The students will work at times in an office environment and other times in a manufacturing environment with varying temperatures. The associate will work with other like Engineering employees working on projects that have a real impact on the business. Other day-to-day aspects of engineering work at our facility may include assisting with maintenance, repairs, project planning, and other tasks as assigned.
