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 2020-2021, we are offering Full-Day and Half-Day programs.
Full-Day Programs:
- Mechanics Co-op
- Humanities Co-op
- Geography/PE 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.
Half-Day CLC Focused Study Programs:
- Entrepreneurship 11/12
- Robotics Engineering 11/12
- Science 11
- Trades Prep 11/12
These Co-ops will run two blocks of classroom instruction in the morning. You will receive 12 credits and meet the requirements for Career Life Connections and Capstone Project. Students will complete ONE work experience placement in the afternoon when the blocks flip to the afternoon rotation.
If you are unsure or have any questions, please contact the Career Centre where we will be glad to help you with your academic and/or career decisions. Learn more about Co-ops by clicking on the Go Co-op image.
DISTRICT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMS:
Do you like working with your hands? Are you interested in becoming a skilled tradesperson? Do you want to explore your creative side or learn a marketable skill? Then you should have a look at the District Partnership Programs. They're called that because the Surrey School District partners with post-secondary institutions or other organizations to provide opportunities for students to get a head-start on their careers! Partnership programs provide students with opportunities to receive industry certification, or post-secondary course credits, in addition to meeting the requirements for high school graduation. Click on the Skilled Trades and Technology handout (below) and visit the Career Centre to talk to a Facilitator about the many benefits of participating in a Partnership Program (not the least of which is the possibility of earning a $1,000 scholarship!).
