Work-based Learning

All Career and Technical Education Cooperative Work Experience Programs (CO-OP) have the common objective of providing opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate job skills at supervised worksites. While working, they are supported by training plans developed cooperatively by the employer, certified work-based learning (WBL) coordinator, instructor, and student. There is ongoing communication between the job mentors and the WBL coordinator concerning students' performance and needs.
