The Co-op Education Program is a carefully structured program where all parties, Mercury, the Student, and the University, enter into a mutual agreement. It is designed to enrich a Student's formal education by alternating periods of study with meaningful periods of work. The student, viewed as a "professional-in-training", provides entry-level employment services to the company. The success of this partnership depends upon good will and a sense of professionalism.

The Following Majors are Recruited by Mercury Marine

It is Mercury's intention to seriously consider students who have completed the Co-op Program for full-time employement. Obviously, some students will exercise other career options available to them at the end of the program, and similarly Mercury may not always have the ability to offer full-time employment to all students completing the program. Ultimately, full-time employment offers will be based on Mercury's needs and a competitive review of each student's performance throughout the program.
