Cooperative Education
|
The Cooperative Education on program provides high school seniors for the work force. Classroom theory and paid work experience are two components of the program. It is designed to acquaint students with the world of work to give them opportunities which cannot be duplicated in the classroom. Students complete academic requirements in the morning and leave school in the afternoon to participate in supervised employment in business or industry. |
