The program serves as a way for Kentucky students to obtain practical on-the-job experience and academic credit as part of their education. Co-op\/Interns are employees in the unclassified service (without merit status). In order for a student to participate in the Co-op\/Intern Program, the Personnel Cabinet requires that the student receive academic credit for their participation. The Kentucky Horse Park does not provide housing or stipends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
