Difference between co-op and internship

[actuary89]

I noticed about an co-op opening in my current city. I am just wondering if anyone knows what's the difference between co-op with internship?

I am looking for a full-time position but the progress wasn't that good. So do you think I should apply for the co-op position instead?

Is there any reason why you WOULDN'T apply? Do you hate money or experience or both?

Well, I am currently working as a full-time employee in another finance company. Switching the job would cause me to lose my current job. I just want to know what is the probability that I will receive a full-time offer if I take the co-op job.

Co-Op is when you're part of an internship program organised by your school where you alternate study terms with work terms.

An internship is a work term, usually people do it in summer cause they don't study then.

If they are advertising, it doesn't hurt to apply. Some companies use the terms interchangeably because they usually hire students in a co-op program so have the position named as "actuarial co-op" however, they are really looking for a summer student.
