Employment opportunities for high school students
Co-op Program
Lilly recruits students from participating vocational high schools for paid, part-time, on-the-job training (OJT) opportunities. The Co-Op Program allows students to take the basic skills they have developed in school and apply them to practical experiences for a major corporation. This OJT experience not only deals with their vocation, but it also gives them opportunities to learn how to interact with others in a corporate environment.
Please contact your high school’s vocational/co-op coordinator for information.
