Depending on intern availability and section need the annual amount is between $20,000 and $30,000. Two to three interns are typically on staff. This consent will provide authority to use budgeted funds for up to five years. Funds will not be spent unless budgeted and there is no total contract or requirement to spend funds.

    "Contracts" are in the form of a quarterly agreement with each cooperative education student and LCC, who provides worker's compensation insurance. Typically, each individual contract involves less than $4,000. Cost of the agreement is $90,000 for up to five years, or $30,000 per year. Contact person is Reid Hart, 484-2411, ext. 3079.
