WHAT IS COOPERATIVE OFFICE EDUCATION?

Cooperative Office Education is a vocational business education program for high school seniors with an interest in clerical work.  It is designed to affect the transition from student to employee through a combination of classroom instruction and on-the-job training in the business world.

The student attends school in the morning and receives on-the-job training in an office during the afternoon.

Each student trainee receives three units of credit for the successful completion of classroom and job performance. 

COE is taught by a qualified teacher-coordinator who is aware of the needs of both the businessperson and the student-learner.

A successful Cooperative Office Education program is the result of cooperative participation by the school, the employer, the parent, and the student.
