Co-op I is a class where you get school credit for having a job.
Co-op I is broken into two parts:
Work: You work an average of 8 hours a week or at least 120 hours during the semester
Class: You take a class that will meet one day a week and every late start Wednesday
You work an average of 8 hours a week or 120 hours at a job over the semester
You log your hours worked each week
Your employer lets us know how you are doing
Class time is useful, and focused on you. You’ll:
Learn what you’re good at and what interests you
Explore careers you might actually want by listening to guest speakers
Get help finding and keeping a job; learn to write a resume and cover letters, practice using online job search apps
Learn and practice real-life skills like communication, networking, and problem-solving
No busywork—everything connects to your job and future plans.
How many credits will I receive?
You will receive 1.5 credits per semester broken down to 1 credit for the work piece and .5 credits for the class.
Your grade is pass/fail, based on effort, attendance, and employer feedback—so it’s about showing up and doing your best, not tests and quizzes.
