Co-op Programs

Co-op programs combine academic studies with related work experiences.
Queen Elizabeth Secondary School is known District-wide for the integrity and variety of our co-op programs.  In 2022-2023, we are offering Full-Day and Half-Day programs.

Full- Day Programs:
(All day for 1 semester - 24 credits)

-Humanities Co-op
-Mechanics Co-op

Each co-op consists of 2-3 core subjects and two work experiences, as well as support and credit for the completion of Career Life Connections and Capstone Project. In the semester of your co-op, you have the same teacher, classmates and classroom for all courses. Students will also complete TWO different work experience placements; therefore, you should expect some acceleration of in-class material in order to allow for this component of the program.

​Volunteering

It's the quintessential win-win situation. You gain skills and experience to build your resume, while the community benefits from your involvement and commitment. Volunteering strengthens communities; it's your chance to support community resources that you are interested in or that benefit people you care about. 

Need more reasons to volunteer? You need to accumulate a minimum of 30 hours of volunteer or work experience in order to satisfy part of your graduation requirements. If you're thinking about applying for scholarships, community service is often something that scholarship committees look for when selecting award recipients. The "depth" of your community involvement may be considered too, so the sooner you start volunteering, the better.
