Co-op Education

Co-op education, or cooperative education, is a structured method of combining classroom learning with practical work experience. Students alternate between periods of academic study and full-time employment in fields related to their studies. This approach enhances education by allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world situations, develop professional skills, and gain valuable industry insights. Co-op programs often help students build networks, improve employability, and sometimes earn academic credit for their work experience, making the transition from school to the workforce smoother and more effective.
