recognizes that classroom learning provides only part of the skills and knowledge students will
need to succeed in their professions or career clusters/pathways. By creating opportunities to learn
in the workplace, schools can help students develop and refine occupational competencies
(attitudes, skills, and knowledge) needed to enter and succeed in a profession or career
cluster/pathway, adjust to the employment environment, and advance in occupations of their
choices. The fundamental purpose of cooperative education is to provide students with
opportunities to learn under real-work conditions. While participating in cooperative work
experiences, students are actual employees of the hiring organization. These experiences must be
related to student academic and career cluster/pathway goals. Ideally, students’ work assignments
and areas of responsibility should broaden as they gain experience on the job and increased
responsibilities should occur as further education and training are attained. Students will attend
