WITworks Co-op and Job Search Tips

Search for Posted Co-ops and Jobs

Searching for your next co-op or full-time job through WITworks is easy. You can customize your search using filters and save your search, so the system emails you when new jobs get posted.

To search for co-ops or jobs, select Job Search from the square tile menu outlined in red below.

When searching for co-ops within the Job Search screen, select only 3 filters (Position Type, Desired Major, & Work Term) to see the highest number of relevant co-op positions for your major.

From the Position Type menu shown below, you can select “Co-op” and/or “Co-op Part-Time”. Two things to keep in mind:

  1. You must work at least 30 hours a week during the semester to meet the co-op requirements. Any part-time co-op you secure must be paired with another part-time co-op to meet the 30 hour a week minimum.
  2. If you cannot see any positions once you select the “Co-op” filter, you must connect with your Co-op & Career Advisor for access.

From the “More Filters” drop down menu, select your major from the “Desired Majors” drop down menu and the work term that you will be going on co-op in the “Work Term” drop down menu shown below outlined in red.

*Note: Employers do not use “Industry” in their job postings. We do not recommend you select an industry in your search. The most relevant co-ops will be found by using these 3 filters. We do not recommend using any additional filters.

Your saved search will be added and you will get notified at your wit.edu email address. To edit the notification settings of your new saved search, select the gear icon next to the “Save Search/Create Job Alert” button and change the frequency an alert is sent to you using the drop-down menu.
