Beau Wells, a Tennessee Tech University student from Lynnville, Tenn., has been selected for a one-year cooperative education, or co-op, assignment with Bory Warner in Water Valley, Miss.
During an assignment that began in January, Wells is aiding in the manufacturing and streamlining of Bory Warner’s transmission products.
“The co-op program is an excellent way for students to gain the type of experience that will give them an edge in a very tight job market,” said Don Foster, Office of Career Services associate director. “In addition to helping students grow and improve their capabilities, co-op also provides income that can be used to help pay for college studies.”
Tennessee Tech co-op students currently earn between $12.50 and $22 per hour and major in business, engineering, arts and sciences, and education. The university’s co-op program began in 1959 and has experienced record student participation during recent semesters. Tennessee Tech’s co-op office works with more than a hundred employers across the southeast—from businesses to industry and government agencies—to match students’ interests with co-op openings.
Wells, the son Keith and Tammi Wells, is a 2005 graduate of Brentwood Academy and a senior manufacturing and industrial technology major at Tennessee Tech. Beau is also a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Baja team and a member of Collegeside Church of Christ.
