RCI Cooperative Education
What is RCI Cooperative Education?
The RCI Cooperative Education Course consists of a classroom component and a placement component. Through these two components, the cooperative education course prepares the student for successful participation in a work placement; provides sufficient time and various opportunities at the placement to enable the student to apply and further develop the knowledge and skills acquired in the related course; and provides opportunities for the student to integrate the learning acquired in school and at the placement.
RCI Cooperative Education Courses may be planned as 2-credit or 4-credit courses but a minimum of two credits are needed to provide sufficient time at the placement for the student to fully achieve the program expectations and the required knowledge/ skills.
