Cooperative Education

Cooperative Education formally integrates academic preparation and career interests with actual work experience. Employers are represented from private and public sectors of the community. The partnership between the student, the employer, and the College results in a rewarding and beneficial experience for all involved. Classroom study and training take on greater relevance as students gain career experience that is highly valued by employers.
