Students also are given the opportunity to participate in the Co-op Program and work for one of our local businesses.

REQUIREMENTS

SUN Tech takes great pride in building partnerships with local business and industry. Instructors and students are encouraged to participate in a variety of business and industry tours and invite guest speakers and industry demonstrations into the classroom.

During the second semester all students are encouraged to job shadow, intern, or participate in our cooperative education program. For these programs, we do require one supervising industry member to obtain all the necessary and current Child Abuse Clearances while students are on site.

Business and Industry members should contact Eric Turofski at (570) 966-1031 ext. 187 to set up work placements.
