What is Co-operative Education?
Co-operative Education provides students with the opportunity to enhance their classroom education with challenging work experiences. The work experience is related to al least one course the student is taking or has completed.
Experiential learning can assist all students, including exceptional students, who are bound for college, university, apprenticeship, or the workplace in making career decisions as well as in developing the knowledge skills and attitudes that are essential in today's society.
