Has anyone ever been in COOP Careers? Was enrolled in the fellowship but not sure it’s worth it

Question

A recruiter from COOP Careers came to my university sponsoring it and I was accepted into the fellowship. It goes from August 12-December 2. I’m on the data analytics track.

Now look I’m going to be honest I’m very nervous about this because it’s kind of a big time commitment, 3 hours a night for 3 days a week. I’m about to start my masters program at my university and I work as much as I can doing uber while trying to apply for full time careers. I also graduated with my bachelors in MIS.

If I actually landed my career it would help, my resume has some self projects, certificates and some volunteer experience.

I haven’t heard too many good things about COOP careers to be honest, and although it is tuition free, the problem is the time commitment for me. I can do all the asynchronous work but the time commitment for me is super rough and I’d rather invest that time into working or applying.

Is this worth doing? Or at the very least a work around for the time commitment?
