  3. Students in your Current Classes are good candidates for Cooperative Learning

  4. Where Do Your StudentsCome From? • Your Program Areas should have prerequisites for Cooperative Education Classes. ( Culpeper Program of Studies - handout) • Prerequisites help to define the student’s career object by using the competency list per course. • Little progress will be made if the basic character of the individual is such, that doubt exists as to whether he or she can secure a job and advance within the company.

  5. Let’s Make a Folder for Students

  6. Folder for Applicant • Demographics, (open folder, left side stapled) • Course History, (gold sheets in the folder) -Attendance, discipline report –Blue sheets, etc. • Competency Recordsfor each course taken, (folder pink sheet and white sheet) • Course Grades, • Recommendations or notes from past instructors, • Applications, Résumé • All correspondence.

  7. Compiling Applications • Develop a file on each applicant, • Now turn to Page 62 Summary Sheet for Selection record the selection process, (folder 52) White sheet • Now turn to Page 58 Application for Admittance (folder 48) gold * remove Social Security # from the application* - It is not always the “A or B” student! - The average, consistent student makes a great co-op student - Look for desirable character traits with ambition. - Does the student communicate well with others? - Students needs to possess basic math skills. - Attendance and tardiness is it a problem now ? - Training will require reading and many times understanding technical information related to their specific training experience.

  8. Let’s Continue Compiling that Application - • Now turn to Page 59 Guidance Interview Form (folder 49 Gold) realistically- Guidance may not have the time, so you can - asses grades in all course - asses grades in the prior C/T course – C or better. • Now turn to Page 60 Faculty RecommendationForm(folder 50 Gold) you may want to add the following questions “Would you hire this student if you were an employer?” “Would you want this student serving you in an ex.: office, childcare or business setting?” “ Include: Why or Why not?” • Now turn to Page 61 Interview Evaluation Form (folder 51 Gold) -review with the applicant successful interview dress and techniques prior to the interviews - plan your questions, (see page 55 in manual for suggestions) - review the procedure with the applicants, - make and keep notes of interview and remember: Federal laws prohibit denying access or screening students based on sex, race, creed, age, color, disabilities, or national origin.

If not, move the student to another site or remove the student from the program. To place a copy Federal and Virginia Labor Laws and regulations in your Employer Handbook. To make certain that the “compliance statement” is in you Training Agreement.

  46. Training Sponsors Must be interested and care enough to provide training within the framework of the student’s part-time employment. Must be willing to provide a wide variety of learning experiences, compatible with the student’s needs and capabilities. (Remember: they are instructors too.) Must be willing to develop with you, a step by step Training Plan.

  47. Locating Training Stations Do not be afraid to go to the local business and county offices and introduce yourself, school. Explain the cooperative method of instruction and ask for the availability of positions. Employers will welcome the contact. (Now go to page 69) Attend “Educators in the Workplace” when offered in your community. Join the local Chamber of Commerce and other local civic organization.

  48. Remember: It’s Your Community Pictured Here…

  49. When selling your program- Make an appointment, Dress professionally, Communicate to the manager or owner effectively and with skill, Be clear and patient when discussing your qualified, well trained potential employees. These students may have Industry Certifications to help your employers. (Customer Service) Be precise and brief, (their time is money) Listen to the employer as to the type and the needs of the employee they are seeking, Establish credibility, respond pleasantly, professionally, and promptly, Carry business cards, you will see high school students working in the community, talk to them about taking your program and earning credits.

  50. There may be Employer Resistance- Uncertain about wages, (min. wage $7.25) The coordinator’s duties, The paper work involved, The legal aspects. Organize your replies to ease their minds or to overcome resistance. Refrain from pushing, know when to thank them for their time and leave. They will remember you and will call you later or next year when they have an opening that will work for both of you.
