Cooperative Training Courses

Earn and Learn! Cooperative Education courses combine occupational related classroom instruction and on-the-job training.  On-the-job training is provided by employers who hire you to work during each school day at wage rates equitable for beginning employees.  A portion of the classroom time will be devoted to individualized supervised study directly related to the individual occupation in which the student is training.

These courses are designed for students who wish to gain experience on the job while earning a salary. Assistance will be available for locating a proper job.  You will earn two high school credits for on-the-job training, and one credit is also earned for the classwork performed.  Students must attend school in the morning and work a minimum of 15 hours per week.
