Cooperative Education (Co-op) is an educational work experience for students to relate classroom experience with real world employment.  It is available to vocational students in all provided specialized areas at WACTC. Students connect classroom learning with work based learning experiences that teaches employability skills and supports supervised on-the-job training. Co-op provides students an opportunity to work with employers, educators, community leaders, other students and parents. It prepares students for the "real world." This program enables students with specific career objectives matched with related paid employment experiences while they attend planned periods of related classroom theory during school.
