In addition to academic and career and technical programs, students may qualify for one of three programs that provide students with on-the-job work experience. They include:
Cooperative Education program is designed to provide seniors and selected juniors with the opportunity to bridge the gap between education and employment while remaining a student.
The program combines classroom instruction with on-the-job training. By integrating classroom study and supervised, practical work experience, students obtain the best of both worlds as they learn by applying skills they mastered in the classroom.
The Cooperative Edu-cation program is available in any occupational program to qualifying students who have demonstrated good attendance, obtained good grades and have their teacher’s recommendation.

Tech Prep programs: include planned academic and technical courses of study; focus on preparing students to transition seamlessly to post-secondary education; and promote post-secondary education so Tech Prep students graduate with in-demand technical and marketable skills.
