To participate in Co-op, you must first receive approval from your parents/ guardians, your vocational instructor, and the Vocational Director. Such approval indicates that you have met all criteria, are in good academic and vocational standing, and have a record of good attendance and good conduct.
The Vocational Office agrees to select candidates based on the student’s abilities and the Cooperative Education employer’s needs. Each student is assigned an on-the-job supervisor who provides supervision and instruction during employment, as well as a periodic evaluation that is used to determine the student’s technical grade. The student’s progress is monitored on a regular basis and any and all employer concerns will be addressed by CCT.
As a senior or third-trimester junior approved for the Cooperative Education Program, you become ambassadors for CCT in local industries and businesses. You have the unique opportunity to gain valuable job experience by working in local businesses during your scheduled shop weeks. As a junior, you are eligible to work your third trimester through the summer into your senior year.
Review the requirements set forth in our
Student Handbook prior to any job interview or job application submission.
The eligibility form can be completed here. The COOP Office will advise the student of their status once it has been verified.
If a job interview is offered to a student, they must notify their instructor and the Coop Office as to when it is scheduled to occur.
Once the student has been offered a job, the student will be granted access to the final online application which must be completed. A hard copy will be printed for the parents, students, and shop instructor to sign.
We also hold a Parent Night for each grade to fully communicate and further support our programs with students. Please see the parent newsletter for more information on dates and times.
