COURSE OUTLINE Department: Business, Technology and Cooperative Education Department Course: Course Code: Cooperative Education Subject Links Common Course Calendar Course Description: Cooperative education and work experience programs offer students an alternative way of expanding their interests and exploring their career options. Cooperative education is a planned learning experience in the community that complements and enhances school courses and provides students with an opportunity to learn and to apply their skills and knowledge in practical situations. Cooperative education courses include a classroom component, comprising preplacement and integration activities, and a placement component. Students earn cooperative education credits by integrating classroom theory with planned learning experiences in the community to achieve learning based on the curriculum expectations of the related course. Placements provide students with challenging opportunities to apply and extend the knowledge, and practise and refine the skills, acquired in the related course and to demonstrate achievement of placement expectations that reflect current workplace practices and standards. This course will help students address the Ontario Catholic Graduate Expectation that they become self-directed, responsible, life-long learners who set appropriate goals and priorities in school, work and personal life.
