Pay starts at $20 an hour and goes up a dollar every semester. Each co‑op is eligible for an end‑of‑semester performance bonus. Performance includes a variety of factors such as customer satisfaction surveys, special projects, attitude, teamwork and punctuality.

Co‑ops participate in mid‑semester touch points to review their progress in the program and personal areas of strength and areas for improvement.

Co‑ops are invited back based on their performance. If the co‑op does not perform well in the role, INPO has the option not to extend an invitation to return for subsequent semesters.
