A Cooperative Career & Technical Education Work Experience Program (CO-OP) provides an important link between the classroom and the workplace for students age 16 and older. It enhances and adds relevance to classroom learning. High school students often find traditional learning abstract and challenging. They learn better when they can apply what they are learning, can see the theory in operation, and have an opportunity to practice what they are learning in an actual work setting. The CO-OP is essentially a partnership that links school, community, and business/industry to provide a real-world environment in which students have the opportunity to apply, and thereby augment, the knowledge and skills obtained in the classroom. The work experience (paid or unpaid) component of CO-OP is related to the student’s CTE program of study, with the primary goal to develop career relevance and competence. .5 credit / 150 hours
