Kogod in Practice
At Kogod, we believe that you learn best by doing. Kogod in Practice encompasses a variety of experiential learning opportunities, including pro bono projects and Kogod Co-ops that bring résumé-worthy hands-on experiences to all Kogod students and to students across all AU schools.
Interested in getting hands-on professional experience? Join our pro bono consulting projects with real clients! We collaborate with the AU Consulting Club to bring these projects to students across the university community.
The Kogod Cooperative Education Program (Kogod Co-Op) is part of the Kogod in Practice experiential learning initiative and provides practical, meaningful, long-term (6-12 months) paid internship experiences. Co-ops are available for all students - undergraduate, graduate, international, residential, and online - throughout their academic program. They are generally best undertaken in a student's last year, so that they can accept a full-time job with their co-op employer upon graduation.
We closely collaborate with the Office of Career Engagement to engage students with employers and provide all Kogod students with résumé, cover letters, and interviewing support. You can see the office's many services, including a list of events you may be interested in on their page.
Kogod undergraduate and graduate students worked with alumni entrepreneurs at global expansion firm Factum Global to develop a unique model to grow their business development pipeline.
