International Co-op

Where in the world do you want to work?

Students can gain valuable international professional experience, earn academic credit and apply financial aid while working abroad! Many opportunities are available. For current openings and more details look at the IE3 Global Internships website.

Who to contact at Lane?

Make an appointment to discuss an International Work Experience Co-op with Tamara Pinkas, International Co-op Coordinator, at (541) 463-5011 or PinkasT@lanecc.edu, in the Cooperative Education Office, Building 19, Room 231D.

Is your goal to travel, live overseas, or experience another culture?

Then International Co-op is for you! You work alongside the very people you would rush past while sightseeing. No other type of international experience is this authentic.

Is your goal to find a job that advances your career?

Then International Co-op is for you! You get an insider's perspective while you learn to work, play, eat, drink, and even think like a native of the country you visit.

Is your goal to have some adventure while completing college?

Then International Co-op is for you! Co-op opens the door to adventure and international friendship while you earn college credit. What better way to meet the ethnic, gender, cultural, and diversity requirement for the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer Degree?

Where do international co-op students go?

Lots of places. Students have been to France, Kenya, Germany, Belgium, Canada, Ecuador, Scotland, England, Mexico, Wales, Congo, Thailand, Vietnam, China and the newly independent states of Russia. New sites are always under development.
