From funeral homes to architecture and design, and from the automotive sector to healthcare and education, Markville SS students highlighted the learning and workplace skills they developed during the cooperative education program.
This semester's co-op showcase also gave students in Grade 10 an opportunity to explore the many opportunities available to them if they select cooperative education in Grades 11 or 12.
"Students should consider co-op if they want to investigate a potential career or simply to get workplace experiences," said Everett, a Grade 12 co-op student at Markville SS.
"I've been doing the co-op program since 2006," said Jack Tellian, Co-Op Supervisor and owner of KKT Auto Collision. "I support them with hands-on training and try to get them as much as they can - learn this trade inside and out, share with them my 53 years of experience in this trade."
Through cooperative education, students can gain transferable skills like problem solving, critical thinking and communication, and valuable workplace experience.
