CO-OP 101

CO-OP 101

You will be learning a lot in the first two weeks of pre-placement.  You are responsible for completing the lessons assigned to you in the Pre-placement section of the course.  You will also complete a pre-placement health & safety online test at the end of your pre-placement class time.  Topics on the test will include information and concepts from:

• Course Outline

• Attendance Policy: 3 Call Rule

• Pre-placement topics

• Integration Day(s) plans

• Co-op Calendar

• Workplace skills

• Health and Safety

• WSIB and Forms

Co-op Protocol

Students in co-op are insured under WSIB.  If you are injured at work, it is important to follow some basic steps. 

1. Seek First Aid

2. Tell your employer

3. Contact your teacher if your injury requires treatment or may require treatment later; forms must be filled out within a certain amount of time. 

Bad Weather?

Upon inclement weather, if RCI is open for school, co-op students are expected to go to co-op if they can do so safely. If you cannot make it to your placement, contact your supervisor and your teacher to let them know you are unable to make it to the placement. 

Extra Hours

If you work outside of co-op hours (as written on your WSIB form) you must fill out the Extra Hours Log Sheet. You will need a signature from your supervisor, parent/guardian and teacher PRIOR to working those extra hours.

Illness

If you are sick, you must contact your supervisor, school, AND teacher. If you have a field trip, you should ask your supervisor if attending is okay. If it is approved, you must also notify your co-op teacher.

Cell Phones​

What do you think???  That's right! Turn off your cell phones when you are at co-op.  The biggest complaint from supervisors is that students are on their cell phones and not showing enough initiative.
