Cooperative Education

Our Cooperative Education program offers students the opportunity to receive CTE program area credits while working for business and earning a paycheck.

Clearance for Employers

Pennsylvania requires that companies entering into co-op or internship agreements must have one adult with clearances in the workplace who will be designated as the supervisor of the student. The designated supervisor shall be the one responsible for the student's welfare while at work. This supervisor must be in the "immediate vicinity" (an area in which he/she is physically present with the student and can see, hear, direct, and assess the activities of the student) at regular intervals with the student.
