Recently, the CCCTC hosted its annual Cooperative Education Banquet, celebrating the achievements of students in the Co-op program. Cooperative Education (Co-op) allows students to gain hands-on, real-world experience by working with local employers in their chosen field while still in school. This unique opportunity helps students build job skills, explore career paths, and make valuable industry connections.
This year, 38 students participated in the program, working with 32 different employers across the region. Students from all six sending schools were represented, showcasing the strength of the program and the partnerships that make these opportunities possible. The banquet served as a way to recognize both the students and the employers who play a vital role in preparing the next generation of the workforce.
