Cooperative Education – Elmwood Park High School
The Cooperative Education course will develop professional skills and traits necessary for success in the workplace. This capstone course will focus on the study of career investigation and skills related to seeking and applying for employment to find, obtain, and maintain a job. As students grow as individuals, they must be prepared to pursue the career of their choice while meeting high performance workplace and industry standards to prepare for their future. Topics of this course include workplace legal matters and safety, career exploration, finding and applying for a job, interviewing, workplace communication, and workplace ethics. It is recommended for all students who may want to investigate career exploration at the high school level, yet there is no pre-requisite required. This course is a semester-length course. Students earn one credit for the classroom seminar and one credit for the lab portion.
