Middlesex schools move to cooperative education program
A recent Education Ministry report
indicates that 64 percent of high
school students enter the job market
rather than pursue postsecondary
studies at college or university. In
Middlesex County this means that,
this year. more than 600 young peo-
ple will be looking for or starting their
first full-time job when employment
prospects are not the greatest.
Through a stepped-up Cooperative
Education Program, high schools are
offering help to these students.
Under the program, students are
placed with commercial businesses or
service industries to work at an oc-
cupation that interests them and to
work for an employer who is in-
terested in having them. Hence the
term "Cooperative Education". For
a complete school term, September to
December or January to June, the
student attends regular classes for
half of each day and works at on-the-
job training for the other half as a
regular part-time employee.
Combined with related school
courses such as accounting or
welding, the work enables the student
to earn extra credits toward a secon-

In Middlesex, the cooperate educa-
tion program at Strathroy District
Collegiate is being used as a model for
similar programs at Glencoe,
Parkhill, Medway and Dorchester
high schools. The Strathroy program
was started in 1982 under Coordinator
Larry Traxler who was appointed this
year to organize extension of the pro-
gram to the other schools in the
county.
Larry says, "Experience has pro-
ven that schools are eager to offer the
program and there are extremely
worthwhile benefits for students and
employers who take part in it. Like
other valuable programs, it starts
small, develops gradually, and even-
tually becomes a well -integrated part
of the complete school program, help-
ing to meet needs of students and the
community. I believe the program
will eventually involve 400 students
across the county."
During the present school year,

Stewart Bolton, who is in charge of
Cooperative Education at Strathroy
District Collegiate, will place about 80
students. Anne Sheppard, who runs
the program at Glencoe District High
School, and Carol Hunter, who looks
after the program at Medway High
School, expect to place as many
students as they can in February,
although numbers will be smaller
because the program has been in-
troduced more recently in these
schools.
Feedback from employer and stu-
dent participants 'has been very
positive. Larry Traxler says that,
"after they've completed their place-
ment, 50 to 60 percent of the students
say they would like to stay in their
related fields. Others say the ex-
perience has been valuable, and a few
find out that they weren't so in-
terested in that kind of work after all.
And that's all right, too, because it's
good to find out early in life what you
don't want to do.
"Employers like cooperative
education because it helps them to get
a better idea about what is being
taught in the schools," Larry says.
"In this way, the program helps to
bring the school and the business
community closer together."
Alio, the program helps teachers do
a better job. Teachers who go out to
training palcements to monitor
students' progress meet employers
and other employees. Through these
contacts, teachers can become more
aware of the needs of the business and
industrial community and of the peo-
ple who are training students on the
job. As a result, teachers can keep up
with the latest trends and
technologies.
Another benefit for students, that is

apparent to teachers and parents, is
the increase in development of in-
terpersonal relationships and maturi-
ty that comes from meeting and
working with people. These qualities
are especially valuable for young peo-
ple to have.
By extending the cooperative
education program to all secondary
schools and into more communities,
the Middlesex County Board of
Education wants to give more
students and more employers oppor-
tunities that will benefit them and
their communities through better
training.
