College Conference on Cooperatives

The College Conference on Cooperatives (CCOC) is the premier cooperative education event hosted by National Farmers Union. CCOC brings together students and young adults from across the country for cooperative education sessions and co-op tours around the Twin Cities. 

CCOC provides students the opportunity to gain a basic understanding of cooperative business economics, become advocates for the cooperative business model, and learn about co-op career opportunities.

Interactive workshops allow participants to collaboratively work through problems that co-op boards often face, and a day of Twin Cities co-op tours offer real-world examples of the unique realities of co-ops.

Many of our student participants attend this conference with their teachers as part of a class curriculum. If you are an educator interested in attending for the first time, please reach out to Lisa Buckner for more information: [email protected].
