Project Based Learning
COOP Careers Capstone Project
Our program culminates with a group project that serves as a hands-on learning experience for participants to gain real-life work experience.
Digital Marketing cohorts are paired with small to medium-sized businesses or non-profit clients to produce a deliverable—such as report or presentation—catered to their client’s needs.
Through partnerships with small businesses and organizations, we are creating a new channel for entry level talent to gain tech-relevant professional experience.
In the last two years COOP has serviced over 300 small businesses across the nation.
