A co-op placement puts a student in a job that will further develop their occupational skills and ensure they become employable in that field. The experience can also enhance their workplace knowledge and awareness by providing first-hand practice in a potential future workplace. In addition, a co-op job enables the student to connect classroom learning with real-world work experiences and offers networking and mentoring opportunities.
A co-op job is short term or long term as defined by the work-based learning agreement.
It combines classroom instruction and field experiences.
Examples may include but are not limited to:
Co-Op organizers and participants can use the following resources to plan, implement, and review.
