More Info on coop @ eess

Cooperative Education is a program in which students earn credits through related subjects and the cooperative education course (classroom and placement component). It involves a partnership between the student, employer, school and the parent/guardian.


Students in Coop Programs are considered to be full time students and are not employees of the placement (in most cases). Accident and liability insurance is available for students in the program.


Cooperative Education teachers conduct on-site learning assessments. Students are assessed and evaluated by both the Cooperative Education Teacher and Placement Supervisor throughout the semester.


Who takes Cooperative Education?


  • Students who wish to increase their knowledge of the world of work.
  • Students who wish to explore career options.
  • Students who wish to gain valuable work experience.
  • Students registered for an SHSM working to obtain the red seal.


Why Cooperative Education?


  • Explore career alternatives
  • Facilitate the transition from school to work, college, university or apprenticeship
  • Develop maturity, self confidence and employment related skills


Cooperative Education Student Responsibilities


  • Comply with school attendance policy for placement and classroom components
  • Completion of assignments, reports, tests, logs and journals
  • Inform the Placement Supervisor and the Cooperative Education Teacher in advance if unable to report to placement


Benefits for Employers


  • Train, access and recruit future employees.
  • Enhance the company image in the community.
  • Develop supervisory skills in employees.
  • An opportunity to demonstrate community involvement.
  • Heighten student awareness of career opportunities.
