SEA’s
partnership with Drexel University was in part inspired by
Curt Cyliax, a Drexel graduate and former co-op student. SEA’s goal as a partner in this program is to provide the co-op with real work experience by integrating participants into live deals and prospect outreach. The Drexel co-op experience empowers students to succeed, allowing them to graduate with up to eighteen months of full-time experience in a professional environment.
At SEA, we recognize that meaningful work can extend well beyond the traditional boardroom or balance sheet and we are committed to helping future business leaders succeed. As partners in Drexel University’s co-op program, SEA ensures a learning environment that fully integrates the co-op analyst as a team member. We’re thankful for our nine excellent co-ops we’ve had to date and look forward to the future of the program!
