480541 Co-Op for Welding WLD 299
1 Credit
Grade 12
Prerequisite: Enrollees shall have taken basic skill prerequisites required by the occupational program they are pursuing, a student in cooperative education shall be enrolled in a related class in the current school year and the student shall work in a salaried position which provides work experience directly related to the student's Individual Learning Plan. Students in a co-op course must already be a program completer or take another course in the pathway with the co-op course.
Comments: Teacher recommendation required
Cooperative Education provides supervised on-the-job work experience related to the students' education objectives. Students participating in the Cooperative Education program receive compensation for their work.
