Peer Cohorts

Careers are a team sport at COOP ("ko-op"). Together for 200 hours, local grads learn digital skills, build community, and pursue full-time offers in Digital Marketing or Data Analytics.

 
 
 

Cohort Captains

Like any team, our cohorts are led by near-peer Captains. Four COOP alumni guide each cohort through the entire program, paying it forward while growing as leaders.

“How many of you are underemployed, working in a job that does not require a bachelor’s degree?” ⁠ Moments after our COO Randy Moore asked this every hand shot up. Every new COOPer is underemployed. ⁠ ⁠ Over 40 percent of recent grads are underemployed. On average, they earn $10,000 less than their fully employed peers. We can’t wait for COOPers to change that statistic. ⁠ ⁠ 📷: @travis_feldman⁠ ⁠ #coopcommunity #career #diversity #tech4good #tech2empower #community #nyc #bayarea #digitalmarketing #dataanalytics #equality #inclusion
🎉 The COOP Fall 2019 program officially kicked off yesterday in SF and NY🎉 We’re proud to say we have grown by 7 cohorts this Fall 2019 - our biggest cycle yet! The Data Analytics and Digital Marketing tracks consist of 14 cohorts and 72 Captains with a whopping total of over 260 students on their way to becoming media pros. Guess how many students COOP started with 5 years ago? (Hint: It’s less than 20)
