Cooperative Education Program
The Cooperative Education Program is designed to
enhance students’ academic knowledge, personal development
and professional preparation through a combination
of classroom theory and practical work experience with
area business and industry. Through this hands-on experience,
students can test their career goals, gain an edge on
the employment market and defray the cost of their college
expenses while earning college credit.
Students interested in cooperative education
should contact the Cooperative Education Office,
Room C-113 in the College Center. For information,
call (708) 456-0300, Ext. 3789.
Career Services

individuals (students, graduates and community members)

or re-entering the work force.
Career Planning
Professional counselors are available to assist individuals
in exploring and clarifying career and educational
goals. Through the use of self-evaluation techniques

Choices
Triton offers area residents and students the
opportunity to work individually with a counselor on
career/life planning through a comprehensive career
assessment program called Choices. The three wellrespected
assessments are used to provide an in-depth
examination of an individual’s personality, interests,
work style preferences, skills and values. Personal
assistance from a counselor is included to help interpret
the results and to develop an individualized plan
which may include completing an educational program
or improving skills needed to get the job desired.
Additionally, workshops on all aspects of the job
search including resume writing and interviewing
skills are available. Fees for the Choices program vary
based on residency. For more information, call (708)

employers who have current job offerings. Personalized
career assistance is available through the Computerized
Job Notification System. This service allows students to
complete a mini-resume card that is shared with area
employers who make employment requests. In addition,
datamailers listing current job opportunities are sent to students
twice per week. The datamailers include job opportunities
based upon the occupational preferences of the
