Undergraduate / Today experience matters much more than credentials in the labor market. ProTrack Engineering Co-op [6]
Why would it be to your advantage to participate in the ProTrack Engineering Co-op program option?
Today experience matters much more than credentials in the labor market. Most companies employ people that have had experience in the job, this is a problem for a graduating student as it will be hard for them to get a job, competing with people that have worked in the same field for a number of years. With the Florida Pro-Track Engineering Co-op program I will stand a better chance for a good career from graduation.
From the time I started doing mathematics and physics in high school, with the occasional dash home to watch space exploration programs, from NASA's Mars exploration to Virgin Galactica's new satellite tech, I grew to love engineering, especially designing and building machines that will go out in space and help in the discovery of new planets and stars. The Pro-Track Engineering Co-op program allows me to explore engineering through an Aerospace engineer's eyes, I will not only finish college with a degree, but the skills in working full time in a big company. I will also have a better understanding of the subject as it will be practical and I can apply what I have learnt in class and the research I have done in real life situations.
Due to the extremely weak economic situation in Zimbabwe and that we currently don't have our own currency, college in the United States is very expensive and since scholarships are extremely competitive for international students I will use this program to sustain my everyday living and my education program.
