The Cooperative Education Program extends academic and technical training beyond the classroom by providing opportunities for students to apply their learning in a workplace setting. The program is a collaboration between the Central Vermont Career Center and area employers and is designed to offer paid or unpaid career-related experiences that build on and expand a student’s skills. Whether the goal is to develop self-confidence, employability skills or advanced job placement, the Cooperative Education career-based curriculum encourages students to put their education to work.
