Why Lakeland’s Model Matters

Lakeland expects students to alternate classroom and workplace semesters in many majors. International students must coordinate CPT paperwork before each placement.

Global And Career Opportunities

Wisconsin’s manufacturing, insurance and healthcare employers hire Lakeland co-ops. Students targeting Chicago or Minneapolis should plan relocation terms with employers early.

How To Make The Most Of Lakeland

Students should:

• Meet the co-op director in the first month on campus
• Build a LinkedIn that highlights quantified project wins
• Pursue leadership in one student organisation
• Ask faculty for research or TA roles when eligible

Lakeland rewards students who treat co-op like a professional audition, not a side gig.
