Standalone Projects

Give your co-op/intern a project that is matched to your goals by selecting from one of our 285+ XPS Products (i.e., Boiler Optimization, Cooling Tower Sustainability, Heat Tracing Optimization, Reverse Osmosis Sustainability, etc.)

Integrates Well With Existing Projects

If you already have a set program for your co-op/intern, XPS Products can make good use of the times when the intern is caught up or idle, enhancing your existing program and providing great outcomes for your company and for the student’s development.

Reduce Your Expended Time

XPS Products enable the co-op/intern to work independently at your site with just simple direction and periodic guidance, reducing your expended time.

Reduce Idle Time

XPS Products enable efficient time management by providing structured project support for the co-op/intern, reducing idle time.

Results Driven

Get project results that include process efficiency improvement, such as reduced materials or energy usage. The savings often exceed the cost of the co-op/internship and the XPS Product.

Skill Development

Improved skill readiness and faster student ramp-up at your facility. Enhanced student engagement and performance. A stronger, more predictable pipeline of well-prepared talent. And a valuable learning experience for your co-op/intern! Review the Training Matrix for a list of skill sets that are developed.
