Co-operative Education
What is Cooperative Education?
Cooperative Education (Co-op) provides secondary students with valuable experiential learning to apply, refine and extend their learning from the classroom into the community. Co-op allows students to earn secondary school credits while completing a work experience placement in the community. Co-op begins with an in-school pre-placement learning plan to ready students for the community experience. Students work with the Cooperative Education Teacher to find a community work experience that aligns with their interests and skills. Students are monitored, assessed and evaluated by the Cooperative Education teacher and ongoing feedback is provided from the placement supervisor or employer. Most Co-op placements are designed as half-day programs.
