Cooperative Education

Co-op Student Handbook

Welcome to a new and challenging experience -- COOPERATIVE EDUCATION! Cooperative Education at Wayne State College gives you, the student, an opportunity to earn academic recognition and income while applying classroom theory to a realistic work setting. The program enables employers, students, and the College to share in planned and meaningful work experiences.

Your Cooperative Education Student Handbook has been designed to assist you, your Co-op Coordinator, and your employer in the work experience. Please read the entire manual carefully, especially the Co-op Calendar (page 1) listing assignment due dates. A visit with your Department Chair/Advisor is essential to learn specific requirements for course credit.

Instructional materials and assignments are also included in this handbook. These assignments will permit self-evaluation and employer assessment of your growth and development. Our office is open to serve your needs in ensuring a successful Cooperative Education experience.
