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.
