WRKE-1020Co-operative Education Work Placement 1
This Coop placement provides experiential, workplace-based learning opportunities to build employable competencies, and allows students the opportunity to practice the principles and skills learned during classroom study. It links students to industry managers and employers, and establishes the foundations of their employment history. By the end of this course, students will develop and acquire skills for progression within at least one area of the hospitality or tourism industry. During Coop Work Placement 1, students will effectively communicate with customers, their employer and the Coop Coordinator to achieve or modify their personal learning goals. Students will self-assess their own skill development and professional behavior and will create a portfolio. The Coop Coordinator and employer will assess the students' overall skill development or skill acquisition, their professionalism at both a site visit and via employer evaluation, and also through their portfolio and self reflection.
