Cooperative Education Program
Students enrolled in one of the CTE double-period classes may be eligible for the Cooperative Education Program. Students may earn additional credit through on the job training that is related to their technical education program by placement in a community business. Placements are approved and coordinated by the Work Experience Coordinator. Credit is awarded at the rate of 0.5 credit for 270 hours, and 1 credit for 540 hours (limit 1 credit per year). Any student who wishes to sign up for the Co-op Program must do so through the Work Experience Coordinator in the CTE office, NOT through the Guidance Department.
Note: Cooperative Education cannot be used as the final credit for graduation.
