Co-op education a unique learning experience
With hands-on learning the focus
of education today the co-op pro
gram at F.E. Madill secondary
School is increasing in size steadily
since its inception in 1987.
Teacher Jim Inwood said that
year there were 24 students
involved. That is up to 112 this
Community work
year.
By enabling students to investi
gate one or more careers which
they think may interest them in the
future the prbgram continues to
help more and more students reach
important decisions. Students have
worked in areas such as accounting,
auto mechanics, banking, butcher
ing, carpentry, child care, comput
ers, drafting, journalism, teaching
and veterinary work to name only a
few.
Mr. Inwood says if a student is
interested in a field and a place
ment can be found for them it is up
to the students to impress the
employer when they are inter
viewed. Most are in competition
with others for the same job, which
is why the year begins with study
ing job readiness skills such as
resume writing, completing appli
cations and interviewing tech
niques.
"Local employers have been
extremely co-operative and we
have had few cases where an
employer is not interested in help
ing a student learn more about their
chosen field," he said.
Most students who apply for co
op are in Grade 11 so they take co
op in their Grade 12 year. Mr.
Inwood says, however, that the
school has found that several stu
dents have found their experience
to be so beneficial they take it
again, frequently in another field, if
they return for a fifth year of

school. Special co-op programs
allow a limited number of Grade 10
and 11 students to participate as
well.
Several co-op graduates have
found work with their co-op
employers either full-time, part-
time or for the summer. Most co
op students are even more deter
mined, says Mr. Inwood to pursue
their chosen careers after spending
a year in the filed. However, some,
he says, have learned an equally
valuable lesson — the career they
have been considering is not for
them. In either case co-op is almost
always a win-win situation for
employer and student,says Mr.
Inwood.
