Articulation Agreements Articulation agreements with Greenfield Community College and Holyoke Community College are currently in place, which may grant Franklin County Technical School students advance standing in specific programs at these two institutions. For further detailed information, contact the Director of Curriculum and Instruction at Franklin County Technical School. The cooperative work program at Franklin County Technical School functions within the scheduled program of instruction at the school. The students alternate one week in shop receiving instruction in their trade area with a week in classes receiving academic instruction.
Students can participate in the cooperative work program during their shop week.
Co-op students earn wages while gaining valuable work experience. Students who qualify alternate a week employment with a week in academic classes. The cooperative work program is offered to seniors. Cooperative work experience can serve as a reward to students who excel in both shop and academics and who demonstrate a positive attitude in attendance and behavior. Cooperative work experience can also serve as an incentive tool to initiate within the student the desire to achieve a good scholastic average, show the value of good attendance, and demonstrate the benefits of good citizenship in both school and the industry.
