COOPERATIVE
EDUCATION PROGRAM
“in partnership with business and industry
in the community”
WHY CO-OP IS WORKING:
Students can test-drive a career while in high school:
Try
the job and get a chance to see if your career choice is really what
you want before choosing your postsecondary destination.
Students can build work skills:
Work
one-on-one with a co-worker in a program designed to meet your interests,
needs, and strengths.
Students get hands-on work experience:
Overcome
the problem of “no job without experience and no experience without
a job.” Put real work experience on your resumé.
Many
local businesses/organizations are hosting Notre Dame Cooperative Education
students this year in an effort to provide “hands-on” practical work
experience. Over 50 students will participate in this year’s program.
Students
have the opportunity to earn two credits for completing 180 hours of
work at their placement as well as 40 hours on in-class training. Students
must complete weekly logbooks and journal assignments, in-class assignments,
and a final workplace project. The school-to-work transition program
focuses on teaching workplace skills and strategies to the students
via the classroom and work site.
We
thank all those involved in supporting our students in the Cooperative
Education program at Notre Dame. A complete list of participating students
can be found here.
