Cooperative Work Experience Education combines work experience with college instruction. This program is organized to provide students with new, expanded, and practical learning opportunities on the job so they may achieve the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed for career success. In addition to the general work experience course (WKEX 233), occupational work experience courses are offered in all career education disciplines (see courses numbered 299 in career education disciplines).
