What is the difference between an intern and co-op student?
At Sybase we often use the terms interchangeably and they perform the same types of work, but there are differences. A co-op student is someone who’s enrolled in a cooperative education program at an accredited college or university. Most interns work full time at Sybase during summers between academic sessions and in some international locations may complete full time internships for a continuous 12-16 month period. Sybase also offers part-time internships during the school year for students attending schools located near Sybase facilities.
