Have you ever considered "hiring" a co-operative education student for your business? Would your child consider participating in a co-operative education program? Co-op students are enthusiastic, hard workers and can make a great impact on a workplace, at no cost to the employer. That's right - they don't get paid, but earn high school credits, valuable experience, and make contacts in the workplace that will assist them upon graduation.
The Woodlands co-operative education program is seeking businesses that can offer placements to our high school students. Placements are flexible, and can run part time, full time, during the school year or through the summer. Any workplace is suitable - students are seeking placements in retail, service industries, trades and apprenticeships, office work, nursing and healthcare, research labs... you name it.
