Cooperative Education

Cooperative Education

Cooperative Education is an opportunity for students to learn valuable work skills while earning secondary school credits. Students are placed with our employer partners in various workplace settings based on their own interests and career aspirations. Students interested in the Skilled Trades are enrolled in the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) where they simultaneously earn their co-op credits and gain valuable hours that can be used toward apprenticeship. Visit the OYAP webpage to learn more.

Use the Skilled Trades Planning Tool to learn more about the pathway options for the many different skilled trades certifications in Ontario.

Co-operative education and OYAP are offered at all HPEDSB Secondary Schools. To connect with a school about these programs, please visit the school website below.
