College Opportunity to Prepare for Employment Program (COPE)
The C.O.P.E. Program provides a broad range of support services to QCC students that are receiving public assistance or who meet specific economic guidelines. Assisting students since 1994, the C.O.P.E. Program is offered by the City University of New York (CUNY) in conjunction with the New York City Human Resources Administration (HRA) and is geared to help students become successful graduates and find long-term economic self-sufficiency and independence through gainful employment.
Degree seeking students are furnished with a comprehensive network of academic, economic, employment and governmental support services. The staff provides comprehensive counseling, referral services, advocacy, and assistance with meeting H.R.A. requirements. Students are invited to join Resources Unlimited, a student created club designed to bring economically challenged students together for social, academic and vocational workshops.
The C.O.P.E. Program seeks to inform, motivate, and empower students to avail themselves of the wealth of resources the College and the City of New York can provide. From job placement, resume preparation and career counseling, to academic and tutorial referrals, to registration for Training Related Expenses (TREs), assistance with various forms mandated by the HRA, to disbursements of Free Metro Cards, free interview and employment clothing, and more, the C.O.P.E. Program is a reservoir of informational and hands-on resources.
