Cooperative
Education provides students with first-hand experience in the
world of work while allowing the student to gain 2 credits towards
the Ontario Secondary School Diploma. A cooperative education
course is based on a related course or courses from an Ontario
curriculum policy document or on a ministry approved locally developed
course in which the student will be enrolled concurrently or which
the student has successfully completed. Together, these courses
constitute the cooperative education program which is designed
to suit the student's strengths, interests and needs and to enhance
the student's preparation for the future. This program is a partnership
between education, employers, students and parents and reliant
upon all parties to ensure success. |
