The Cooperative Education Program at Pathfinder is an optional experience for seniors and juniors (second half of the school year) having a minimum 1000 hours in their technical area. Through a cooperative arrangement between the school and employer, the student will receive a trade related job placement during their "shop week" with wages paid by the employer. To be eligible, a student must have the recommendation of their technical program teachers, meet the following grade, attendance, and discipline standards. The student must also have their OSHA 10-hour (General Industry) card. Some technical areas may require additional certifications prior to entering the program.

• The minimum grades are: a 77 in Shop and Related Theory, and a 2.0 grade point average in their academics with no failing grades.

• The student's attendance must be well within the school's attendance policy.

• Discipline records shall show no major infractions.

Interested students should contact the Director of Cooperative Education for additional information and a Cooperative Education Application.
