Job Location & Development Program

Build Your Talent Pipeline—Before Graduation

There is no better way to ensure your future workforce has top-notch skills than by engaging students before they graduate. Through Texas State Technical College’s Job Location and Development (JLD) Program, employers can connect with skilled, motivated students seeking internships, co-ops, and part-time opportunities while completing their technical training.

Texas State Technical College’s Waco campus offers students the opportunity to earn an Associate of Applied Science degree in Instrumentation Technology.

Internship or Co-operative?

TSTC partners with employers to offer both internships and co-operative experiences:

  • Internships may be paid or unpaid and are typically completed while students are enrolled in classes. These experiences allow students to observe and apply the skills they’ve learned in a real-world work environment.
  • Co-operatives (Co-ops) are paid, more immersive experiences that usually require students to take a semester away from classes. Co-ops focus on intensive, hands-on application of skills combined with on-the-job training.
Benefits to Employers

Internships and co-ops allow employers to:

  • Evaluate student skills and assess future potential
  • Recruit with little to no risk
  • Save time and hiring costs
  • Develop a reliable, job-ready talent pipeline
What You Need to Know

Internship and co-op structures may vary by campus and program. Through the Job Location and Development Program, employers receive support in developing and launching internship, co-op, and part-time opportunities that meet both business and student needs.

To explore internship, co-op, or part-time opportunities, employers are encouraged to start with the Job Location and Development Program.
