Co-op: SpaceX

“I saw the co-op program as an opportunity to get hands-on work in industry while in college. During my final week of co-op, I told my managers that I really wanted to come back full time, and we kicked off the return process. I start at SpaceX on August 1.”

“My co-op experiences were extremely valuable. Beyond learning what a professional work experience looks like and what engineers really do, I was able to understand the industry and type of company I wanted to work for. My final co-op experience was with the Industrial Engineering team at Walt Disney World, which solidified my desire to work there and paved the way for me to get hired full-time after graduation.”
