Co-operative Education

Cooperative Education (Co-op) is an experiential learning opportunity for students in Grades 11 and 12 to try out a job and see how it fits!

All Ontario Co-operative Education programs have specific requirements. Students will need to plan ahead in order to ensure that there is room to accommodate Co-op in their timetable. For more information, make an appointment to speak with a Guidance Counsellor.

In most cases, co-op placements will take place during either the morning, the afternoon or the full school day, and extend over one semester (5 months). Co-op placements can sometimes be longer in duration depending on the employer’s and student’s needs and interests.
