You don’t want to spend four years waiting to prove what you can do. At Kettering, you start building your career in your first year.

Through our Co-op, you’ll discover what you’re capable of and earn the trust to take on bigger challenges. By graduation, you’re not trying to convince employers you’re ready. You’ll have up to 2.5 years of real-world, paid experience that proves it. 

You’ll still climb the ladder. You’ll just start higher. Kettering’s Co-op experiences help you build the knowledge and industry connections that your peers are only beginning to develop. It’s one reason Kettering ranks No. 9 in the nation for career preparation, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The Driven
Rise Here

Every 11 weeks, you move between campus and Co-op. Each experience strengthens the next, helping you turn classroom knowledge into instinct, responsibility into confidence, and early opportunities into lasting career momentum. 

For the Driven.

Your Co-op isn’t about fetching coffee or watching from the sidelines. It’s a real job where your ideas, decisions, and work matter. You’ll contribute alongside industry professionals and learn how to perform in high-pressure environments. Along the way, you can earn $55,000–$75,000+.

Go Further. Faster.

“Kettering is very fast-paced, and you learn things you’re going to use in the real world. So when you go work for a Co-op, and they throw you on a big project, you’re not scared because you’ve run simulations and experiments that are directly correlated to your work.”
