Course Description

Students’ education must be appropriate to their strengths, interests, and needs, and must prepare them for the future. Cooperative Education programs help students to acquire knowledge and skills and to apply this learning in practical situations. The Cooperative Education course takes the expectations of the related course and expands and extends them through the workplace setting. This helps the students to see the relationship between the curriculum and the world beyond school. This practical experience will assist them in making successful transitions to post secondary education, apprenticeship programs, or directly to the workplace.

Overall Expectations for the Cooperative Education Course

By the end of the course, students will:

• Complete an independent study project that demonstrates an understanding of the relationship between his/her placement experience and the curriculum expectations of the related course.
• Reflect and re-focus their future directions
• Have the essential tools to make a successful transition between post secondary institutions, apprenticeship or the workplace
