WHWWHY TAKE CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION?

• Co-op prepares students to make successful transitions to post-secondary schools, work, and training.

  Students will explore the realities of the modern workplace by getting hands-on experiences.

  Students learn new skills, and polish ones they already have.

  Students have gained excellent recommendations for university and college admission. Some have begun apprenticeships, others have been able to confirm their future career paths. Resumes are fuller due to co-op.
