Cooperative Education

Cooperative Education, commonly known as a "co-op," is a structured method of combining classroom-based education with practical work experience that provides academic credit for structured job experience. The Parkway West CTC program is designed to complement a student's formal education with paid practical work experience directly related to their career major. Many co-op graduates are hired by their co-op employer, post graduation.
