Cooperatives are educational experiences. Whether your cooperative experience is campus-based or community-based, we all learn a lot as members. This workshop is about taking that experience and having it lead to paid employment (whether that’s employment at a co-op, in the co-op movement, or in a completely different sector). We will look at samples of résumé and cover letters and practice translating our co-op experiences into language that others can easily understand and that shows how talented coopers are. Bring your own cover letter and résumé if you’d like.
