An educational co-op is a completely different concept from what is described here. Work/school co-op means a student does paid full-time work while still enrolled in a degree program (e.g. a semester off). What is described in this article just refers to a worker-owned consultancy.
- agentgt 9y agoI can't believe I made that mistake as I even know the difference. It was confusing and I thought it was the education one because they said: * Hire a Co-op * I have never seen a technology co-op. Sure I have seen grocery stores, farms, insurance companies etc but never seen a tech co-op. * The article mentioned students.
