Internship & co-op programs

Tyco’s internship and co-operative (co-op) programs will advance your personal and professional development by allowing you to apply your classroom training to real-world assignments. Through these highly-competitive programs, you can sharpen the skills you acquire in school and contribute your knowledge and talent to make a vital difference at Tyco.

Internship or co-op – what’s the difference?

The Tyco internship program is a 12-week, full-time, paid assignment that takes place over the summer. Internships are open to undergraduate and graduate students who are currently pursuing their degree from an accredited college or university. Intern assignments may be shortened or extended based on the company’s needs and may offer opportunities for part-time, paid employment during the academic year.

Co-ops are generally enrolled in their college’s or university’s co-operative education program, pursuing a bachelor’s or advanced degree. Tyco’s co-op program offers full-time, paid assignments that generally last six months from January to June or July to December. Co-ops receive credits from their college or university for their completed assignments.

EDGE Internship Overview

The EDGE program is a 12-week program designed to provide students with:

Experience. Development. Growth. Excellence.

No matter what your assignment, you will be presented with exceptional opportunities that help you explore and develop diverse career paths. This experience is sure to jump start your career while, at the same time, provide us with a glimpse of what’s to come from our next generation of professionals and leaders.

Experience: In addition to your work assignments, you’ll serve on a cross-functional team to propose and deliver a self-initiated project. You can also strengthen your relationships and gain peer support by participating in a number of networking tools and events that connect interns and campus recruits inside and outside of the office.

Development of Career and Leadership Skills: You will develop skills through on-the job learning, technical training, career coaching, and leadership exposure. In the summer, we provide workshops focusing on business etiquette, negotiation, effective communications, teamwork, and project management.

Growth: Your work is essential to your professional credentials and to our business. You’ll be given clear job assignments and practice setting SMART goals and objectives. Tyco’s performance management process will guide structured reviews with your manager on your progress and results and help you provide feedback to each other.

Excellence: Working knowledge helps enhance and enrich a student’s educational and learning experience. As an EDGE Intern, you’ll be provided with great opportunities to evaluate and creatively present your internship experience.

  • Intern Showcase: At the conclusion of your internship, your cross-functional project teams will meet with other interns and managers to share your Tyco learnings and experiences in a 3- to 5-minute presentation.
  • Survey and focus group: Surveys and focus groups will be held to gather your comments and suggestions on improving the internship program.
  • Graduation day: At the end of the internship program, some locations may arrange a “graduation” event for interns, managers and special guests to gather and celebrate the achievements of your Tyco experience.
