What is Cooperative Education (Co-op)?

• Cooperative Education is a ministry-approved program that allows students to earn secondary school credits while completing a work placement. The program consists of a co-op course monitored by a cooperative education teacher, a related curriculum course in any subject and a work placement. 

• Students can apply two co-op credits towards their compulsory high school graduation  requirements, with no limit on earning optional co-op credits. Co-op placements are arranged for students by their cooperative education teacher and must follow Ministry of Education policy and guidelines.
