VVCC recognizes job experience as a valuable learning resource. It has the uniqueness of turning community business, industry, and public agencies into an expanded education training laboratory. Co-op also allows credit for volunteer training.
Credit is awarded on the basis of objectives completed and the number of hours the student trains.
The student needs a minimum of 75 hours of paid work for each unit of credit or 60 hours of volunteer work for each unit of credit. Students may utilize their present worksites or receive job placement assistance in certain programs. More details are available in the Co-op Office.
