The program, sometimes referred to as “Co-op,” is designed to help prepare students for the job market.
The program consists of Cooperative Education, which occurs on campus; and Cooperative Training, which occurs off campus.
In Cooperative Education, students participate in completing résumés, applications, interviews, personal development, related field trips and other projects.
In Cooperative Training, students gain work experience by participating as a “trainee” at an off campus business organization.
The training hours are generally during the afternoon school hours. However, there is some schedule flexibility. Students are required to sign and be responsible for a training agreement that sets forth the requirements and expectations.
On Friday, certificates of appreciation were given to the participating businesses/agencies and lunch, prepared by the students, was served.
Mister said “the continued support from our community is awesome.”
