Students who participate in the cooperative education program are able to create strong relationships among their fellow classmates, employees, and supervisors. Through their valuable work experience some have been offered part-time employment and have well deserved references that will support their future paths towards college, university, apprenticeships, or the workforce.
With the support of community partners, employers/supervisors, our students are able gain valuable experience that will enrich their lives, develop essential skills, and provide them with a better understanding and appreciation of the world of work.
