Notes on Translation
The electronic translation service on the York Region District School Board's website is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.
The York Region District School Board does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the Board encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.
The York Region District School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.

Page Content Cooperative Education is an experiential method of learning that gives students an opportunity to work outside the school while earning secondary school credits. Cooperative Education combines a subject studied in school (1 credit) with a job placement out of school (2 to 4 credits). For example, if a student has taken or is taking grade 11 or 12 U/C biology, he/she may then work in a biology-related career, such as at a hospital or vet clinic, earning 2 biology co-op credits for the semester. Cooperative Education allows students to explore a career of interest, develop job skills, obtain career-related practical experience, gather references for a resume and develop attitudes necessary for success in the workplace.
Benefits of Co-op
Develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes through hands-on experience
Explore a career in order to make informed educational and career decisions
