Student learns on the job with co-op program
By Vincent
Bauer
“Hello, Joe
Kerr’s? I was
wondering if I
could get a
service done on
my truck.”
This is just
one of the many
things that Joe
Kerr’s does.
My name is Vincent Bauer and I
am a Grade 12 student at F. E. Madill
Secondary School where I am cur
rently enrolled in a co-operative edu
cation program. My co-op placement
is at Joe Kerr’s in Wingham.
Joe Kerr’s is a business that fixes
trucks and trailers. They are also the
ones who try to keep the roads clear
of snow in the winter time.
To start the day, I take out the
garbage and sweep the floor. I also
get whatever tools they need.
Since 1 have been working there I
have changed tires and cleaned up
the equipment. I have even greased a
trailer and a truck so that the people
who work for these companies can
come and pick up their vehicles. I
have also observed how they change
springs on a lift axle truck and other
trucks which is interesting to me.
So far my co-op is very interesting
and educational. I have learned a lot
in the short time that I have been
working there. I feel very strongly
that this is the field I would like to
follow through in the near future.
The co-op program is an excellent
course that I would recommend to
students to think about taking,
because you really learn more about
the job you want in the future.

Every day different in classroom
always have a fun time.
It's amazing to see the different
ways of communication throughout
the classroom. There is communica
tion through the use of pictures and
also sign language.
I’m even picking up some of the
signs.
I think that co-operative education
is a great program. You get a taste of
possible career choices and plenty of
experiences.
Thank You
for your support

This is one of
the key things
that you have
to be when

Every day in
Mrs. Train’s
class, at Wingham Public School, all
of the teachers and educational assis
tants must follow a day plan, so that
everything goes perfectly ... well
almost perfectly.

I started my co-operative educa
tion placement in September and I
already have gained so many good
experiences!
One thing I must say is that every
day in the classroom is different.
This is great!
At my placement I get to work
one-on-one with the children in
many different activities. Whether it
be hand-over-hand learning, out-of
school experiences or even just play
ing with the children at recess, we
