What is Cooperative Education?

Cooperative education (Co-op) is:

  • a unique program that extends classroom learning into business, industry and the community.
  • It allows students to "try on" a career that interests them.

Why take Co-op?

This learning experience allows students to:

  • Increase awareness of workplace opportunities
  • Develop transferable "essential skills"
  • Apply classroom theory to workplace experience
  • Experience the realities of the world of work
  • Build a network for future employment
  • Make a smooth transition to life after high ​school
  • Earn up to two co-op credits towards the 18 compulsory credits needed for a high school diploma
  • Earn credits toward the 12 optional credits needed for a high school diploma

Mature students can earn credits while working at their current job. Placements are also available at the Community Kitchen.

Who is eligible?

  • Mature students who currently hold a job can qualify as a COOP placement, may be paid for their hours, as well as achieve credits towards their High School diploma.  All placements must be approved by the COOP teacher before and student starts.
  • Grade 11 or 12 students destined for the workplace, university, apprenticeship, or college.
