Don’t tell your professors this, but nothing beats real world experience. If you think you can balance your college coursework with some on-the-job training, our intern/co-op program may be the perfect challenge for you. We give students three to six months of hands-on experience that smoothly integrates with most study programs. You'll work on real projects with actual timelines, and we’ll pay you.

We believe that being a contributor at TI trumps being a trainee. Collaboration and teamwork are key at TI. We believe in sharing knowledge openly and inviting input, no matter your level of experience. Our intern/co-op program is a great way to see what you excel at and if TI is a good fit for you.

What is the difference between a co-op/intern and a recent college grad? At TI, college students are hired as interns or co-ops. A recent college graduate is someone who recently earned a Bachelor or Master level degree.
