Co‑operative Education is a program that lets students try out a career and earn secondary school credits through a work placement, while integrating classroom learning with real-world experience.
This program is available to Grade 11 and 12 students.
You may enroll in Co‑op more than once, though it’s often recommended to explore career interests through this program in grade 11.
