Digital Transformation and Technology Fall 2024 Co-Op

Overview

The DTT Co-Op Program offers participants a unique environment to learn Chick-fil-A’s business, culture, and technology in a safe and supportive environment. The program is committed to developing participants personally and professionally through hands-on experience, workshops, mentorship, and project work. Participants have the opportunity to explore both technical and functional tracks, enabling cross-functional skill development. This is anticipated to be a 3 semester Co-Op operating on a non-sequential, every-other-semester, basis. After working full-time for Chick-fil-A for the first semester of the Co-Op, students will return to school for their next semester, and will continue this pattern until having served 3 semesters for Chick-fil-A and 3 semesters of college coursework. The available start date for this co-op is Fall of 2024. The 1st semester is the Foundations semester for Co-Ops where you will gain hands-on learning and project experience. The 2nd and 3rd semesters are apprenticeship semesters where Co-Ops are embedded into a team. Co-Ops will rotate college coursework between each semester they serve with Chick-fil-A, Inc. Co-Ops will also have the opportunity to rotate work locations at Chick-fil-A’s corporate headquarters. The DTT Co-Op is a separate program from Chick-fil-A’s traditional, summer internship program at the Support Center (corporate headquarters).
