Co-operative education offers students a unique opportunity to gain real-life experience in the workplace while earning credits. It helps you explore potential career paths, provides hands-on learning, and gives a glimpse into what a job is really like. You can earn credits for Group 1, 2, or 3 as you participate in this out-of-class learning experience. Co-op fits into your school day, balancing your classes and placements, and is best taken in Grades 11 and 12. Visit the Co-op Office, Room 215, to learn more about enrolling and potential placements.
