Beyond Rec: Southeastern
Cooperative Education Program
Recreation & Wellness developed a partnership with the
Southeastern Cooperative Education Program (SECEP) where
student interns with disabilities gained valuable work experiences
at the Student Recreation Center (SRC). The interns shared duties
and responsibilities that mirrored the department’s Facility Tech
position.
The partnership provided development opportunities for both
SECEP interns and SRC staff. SRC staff further developed their
abilities in inclusive communication and teamwork while SECEP
interns acquired transferable workplace skills. The internship lasted
from December to June. Upon completion, the interns gave a
presentation detailing their experience and highlighting their
favorite moments while working in the SRC.
