Note:  In order to enrol in Cooperative Education, Grade 12 students must submit an application with references, and are screened by an interviewing committee. Successful applicants will be those students who have achieved academically in subject areas relating to the specific field of business or industry they wish to explore.  There is limited enrolment in the course.

Cooperative Education is offered during one semester only and is a two-credit course.  This course provides the "hands-on" experience that extends the learning process beyond the school into the work place.  It is a course that integrates classroom theory with practical experience and learning in the working world.  Approximately 70% of course time will be at the work place.  Students are placed in workstations where they are provided with challenging tasks and responsibilities and they learn by doing. The course is based on a partnership between the school and business/industry, and involves the participation of students, teachers, employers and employee supervisors.  This course is accepted as a university entrance (elective) credit at University of New Brunswick.
