UDA Promotes Co-Op Program in partnership with Auburn University’s College of Engineering

UDA Technologies hosted an Open House event on Monday, September 23, at the company’s headquarters in Auburn, Alabama. Intended to promote UDA’s first-class Co-Op Program - in partnership with Auburn University’s College of Engineering - this event was open to engineering students who were interested in learning more about opportunities to Co-Op at an established construction management software company.

The Cooperative Education (Co-Op) Program is a structured plan that balances real-world work experience with collegiate academic requirements with the intention to better prepare students for their future professional careers. Students interested in Auburn’s Co-Op Program work with the Office of Engineering Career Development and Corporate Relations (CDCR) to develop a personalized Work Plan, which outlines 3 alternating semesters of full-time paid employment with semesters of full-time college classroom instruction.

UDA Technologies has been a proud partner of the Auburn University Co-Op Program since the early 2000’s. Although Auburn’s Co-Op Program is open to students in all major programs of study, UDA primarily works with Co-Op participants from the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering in the Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Software Engineering programs.

UDA Co-Op participants work as part of the ConstructionOnline Software Development Team, where they have the opportunity to get hands-on experience with project management and develop critical skills related to programming, debugging, and software development. Additionally, Co-Op participants work with key members of UDA’s sales, design, and marketing teams, allowing them to gain valuable insight into corporate culture, team communication, and professional project management.

All Co-Op positions are paid employment opportunities, which can often lead to full-time job offers following graduation. UDA uses the Co-Op Program to identify and recruit future employees; in fact, many of the company’s Senior Developers started their path to success at UDA as part of the Co-Op Program years ago.
