Co-Op Program
Cooperative education is the integration of academic studies with paid periods of relevant work experience. These periods of paid work experience also fulfill academic requirements.
We have long-established relationships with several schools that offer cooperative education programs.
These opportunities are available at our sites in the Raleigh, NC and the Greater Philadelphia, PA areas. Co-op positions are paid, full-time positions that last for cycles of four to eight months, with hourly salaries that are competitive in the pharmaceutical industry. Cycle times are determined primarily by academic calendar.
