Cooperative Education
Program
The Cooperative
Education Program is a combined effort of the school and
business/industry for training and offers opportunities for students
to become directly involved with work prior to graduation. The primary
goal of the program is to introduce the student-leamer to the world of
work via actual experience on the job. The school coordinator works
with the student to secure working papers, arranges employment
interviews, periodically evaluates and supervises the student's
progress.
Students are placed in the Cooperative Education Program only if they
meet the standards listed as "Performance Benchmarks" on page 24 in
addition to the following requirements. The student must be sixteen
years of age or older and must meet all the age requirements set by
the State and Federal Child Labor Laws. The student must indicate an
interest in following the occupation as a life's work and intend to
stay in school until they graduate. The student must possess the
qualifications for employment set by the employer and earn the
recommendation of the teacher for admission into the Cooperative
Education Program. Job placement service is available to assist
students in finding employment when their course work has been
completed.
