Journeys of Growth from Eclipse Co-ops
At Eclipse Automation, part of Accenture, a co-op position is not just another student job – it’s so much more. It’s the foundation for an exciting, rewarding career in dynamic, cutting-edge fields full of possibility.
Whether they’re passionate about Electrical Design, Machining, Human Resources, Fabrication, I.T. or other aspects of the business, our co-op program is designed to help students put academic experience into practice and jumpstart their professional careers.
Mentored by the Pros: Why Our Co-ops are Set Up for Success
A co-op role at Eclipse is a stepping stone to future success.
Students join a dynamic team of experts and engage in meaningful work on real projects across a variety of industries, from life-saving medical devices, to cutting-edge components for electrical vehicles, to clean energy solutions for powering our future, and more.
When it comes to mentorship, our co-op students learn from the pros. Each student is partnered with an experienced employee mentor who encourages and fosters their growth, while guiding them through real-life scenarios and problem-solving together as a team.
At Eclipse, our co-ops don’t run errands or do grunt work. They collaborate with experienced professionals on meaningful projects that actually make a difference. Here, they gain exposure to various trades, allowing them to explore which one is best for their future, and preparing them for a career in some of the most high-demand fields of work across the globe.
Our students aren’t limited to the trades, however – our engineering and business operations streams give co-ops the edge they need to rise above the competition and put their academic knowledge into practice within a variety of departments and functions.
