What is Cooperative Education?
Cooperative Education is a planned learning experience, for which credits are earned, that integrates classroom theory and learning experiences at a workplace to enable students to apply and refine the knowledge and skills acquired in a related course. |
Developing Partnerships That Work!
|
Students are generally out in a workplace of a half day (morning or afternoon) for a whole semester (The first semester is from September to January and the second semester is from February to June). The tasks that are performed at the work site relate to a course that is either being taken presently or in a previous semester.
Students will participate in a pre-placement orientation where they will discuss resume writing, interview skills, health and safety before they are placed in a work site. Students will meet on a monthly basis with the co-op teacher in a group session to reflect on what they are learning at the work site.
