CO-OP

The co-op department offers 2-credit packages to all students. The two credits will be subject-specific. Students will still be able to choose either 1 or 2 additional in-school subjects during the semester that they take.
Co-op is a requirement for the Specialist High Skills Major Program (SHSM) in Business, Information & Communication, and Sports.

 

COOPR2                                                          

Regular, Grade 11/12, Academic, Applied, Open

Prerequisite:  Course specific prerequisites may be required

 

This is a regular 2-credit package that offers students practical hands-on experience in the workplace. Experiences may be directly related to a specific subject area studied in class and therefore require the in-school prerequisite or may be community-service oriented and not require a prerequisite. Co-op opportunities exist in the morning or afternoon in either semester. A co-op application form must accompany the course selection sheet. The appropriate co-op teacher will determine specific course coding, placement opportunities and timetabling during a spring interview. Two credits will be granted if students fulfill the hourly requirements set out by the Ministry of Education.  Students (18+) working in the vulnerable sector may require a police check prior to their placements. Students in health care related placements may be required to get a 2-step TB skin test. Co-op opportunities exist in Art, Business, Community Service, French, Family Studies, Social Sciences, Physical Education, Science and Technology
