Most Students choose a Standard Coop. The only requirement is that you are in grade 11 and above. There are no specific grades or prerequisites to take this program. Everyone is welcome.
In Standard Coop, your assigned teacher will reach out to you about 1 month before your Coop begins to discuss your preferences. Students should read their TDSB email daily so they do not miss important messages about Coop.
The Coop teachers build relationships with employers in the community. Once we get to know each student, we match each student with an employer that we feel will be the best fit for the student's interests and where they will have the best opportunity build their employment skills.
We look forward to meeting you and can always field your questions in room 269!
Tips:
Start EARLY (1 semester ahead). Nearby placements are limited!
Do some research about companies or opportunities in your community (take an active role)
Be as specific as possible and provide ideas when you make a placement request
You may suggest your own connection to a potential supervisor
Be patient! Finding a good fit takes time and effort.
