Whether you want to be an accountant, hairstylist, carpenter, or zoologist there’s a co-op course for you.
You can take co-op courses as long as you’re:
-
16 years of age or be 15 and in Grade 11 before the Co-op placement begins
-
in Grade 10, 11 or 12
-
able to work independently
Here’s what you get:
-
real work experience
-
skills you will use the rest of your life
-
information that will help you decide what to do after graduation
-
contacts in the working world
The more co-op courses you take, the more you learn about different careers so you can decide what’s right for you. Your co-op work placement may take place during or after school hours, on weekends, and during vacations.
