Suggested Grade Levels: 11 or 12 (36 weeks)

Through the cooperative education method, students receive school-based and community-based instruction organized around an approved job that leads toward their career goal. The teacher-coordinator, on-the-job training sponsor, parent, and student develop an individualized training plan that identifies learning experiences according to the student's occupational objective. The on-the-job paid training is an extension of the classroom instruction coordinated by the classroom teacher into a coherent set of performance objectives and skills.
