A Cooperative Education Program (Co-op) is an educational model that combines academic learning with practical work experience. Students alternate between classroom study and hands-on work in their field of study, allowing them to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world settings. This approach enhances their skills, builds professional networks, and improves employability upon graduation. Co-op programs are often integrated into degree programs, providing students with valuable industry experience while still pursuing their education.
