Co-Op Program

Co-Op is a program available to senior students, targeted at grade 11s. Co-Op students participate in a semester-long learning cohort and earn credit for their themed courses, Career-Life Connections 12, and Work Experience 12.

During their Co-Op semester, the cohort spend time in class participating in lessons related to their theme and to CLC's big ideas. On pre-scheduled weeks, students are released from classes to attend an unpaid Work Experience opportunity to practice their employability skills, gain experience and a reference for their resume, and explore the world of work—all while earning credit for school.

In the 2025-26 school year QE is running the following Co-Ops:

Automotive (full day = 24 credits)
Entrepreneurship (half day = 12 credits)
Robotics (half day = 12 credits)
Science (half day = 12 credits)

Interested grade 10 students must apply for grade 11 during the course selection time in January/February. Grade 11s may apply for grade 12, if they have not yet completed CLC. Applications are available through the Career Centre.
