Cooperative Education Report

Executive Summary The Cooperative Education & Training Program, sometimes referred to as “Co-‐Op”, is a student internship program that integrates classroom instruction with supervised on-‐the-‐job training. The program consists of both Cooperative Education, which occurs on-‐campus and Cooperative Training, which occurs off campus. In the Cooperative Education class, students engage in a curriculum that involves job placement techniques, career exploration, financial literacy, resume drafting, personal development, related field trips and projects.

Cooperative Training, considered the on-‐job-‐training (OJT) portion of the program, is where students gain work experience by participating as a “trainee” at an off-‐campus organization. This program offers a sequence of courses that provides coherent and rigorous content aligned with challenging academic standards, and relevant technical knowledge and skills needed to prepare for further education and careers in industries such as: Hospitality and Tourism, Food & Beverage, Customer Service, and various administrative job settings.

The OJT portion of the Co-‐Op Program provides students technical skill proficiency, applied learning that contributes to the academic knowledge, higher-‐order reasoning and problem solving skills, work attitudes, general employability skills, technical skills, and occupation-‐specific skills.

Further, the Co-‐Op Program will expose secondary students to a curriculum based on career exploration and experiential learning. With the integration of classroom instruction & on-‐the-‐job training, Co-‐Op Students are able learn and apply job skills in a real-‐work setting. The end result, students will be able to enter the workforce with a greater degree of confidence. Co-‐Op Teachers will ensure quality of instruction by monitoring student academic achievement and offer mentoring as needed. Co-‐Op teachers must also monitor student-‐intern performance at their respective training sites. This is achieved through periodic monitoring and jobsite observations and performance evaluation forms. Students participating in the Cooperative Training: 1. Gain practical experience in their chosen fields. 2. Develop technical skills, and apply them skills in actual on-‐the-‐job experiences. 3. Earn money through PSS Performance Stipends / WIA Assistance, or part-‐time

employment. 4. Learn how to work with colleagues in a professional atmosphere under the

guidance and expertise of their mentors and supervisors. 5. Establish contacts for letters of reference. Begin networking for future employment.
