ADDITIONAL WAYS FOR STUDENTS
TO COMPLETE COURSES AND
PROGRAMS
Experiential Learning Programs (OS 8.1)
Experiential learning programs may be part of the delivery
of the curriculum in all disciplines. Such programs provide
students with opportunities to see how their classroom
learning applies in a workplace setting and allows them
to explore a career of interest as they plan a pathway
through secondary school to their postsecondary
destination. Experiential learning programs include job
shadowing and job twinning, which may start in Grades
7, and work experience and cooperative education, which
are offered in secondary school.
For students who are 14 years of age or older and who are
participating in experiential learning programs involving
more than one day at the workplace, a Workplace
Education Agreement form must be completed to ensure
Workplace Safety and Insurance Coverage.

Cooperative Education (OS 8.1)
Cooperative education programs allow students to
earn secondary school credits while completing a work
placement in the community. A cooperative education
program comprises, at a minimum, of one cooperative
education course and its related course on which the
cooperative education course is based. Any course from
an Ontario curriculum policy document may serve as the
related course for a cooperative education program. In
their cooperative education program, students may earn
a minimum of one and a maximum of two cooperative
education credits for each related course.
The cooperative education course consists of a
classroom component and a placement component. The
classroom component involves pre-placement sessions
and classroom integration sessions. The pro-placement
sessions prepare students for the workplace and include
instruction in areas of key importance. They also provide
opportunities for students to reflect on and reinforce
their learning in the workplace. A personalized placement
learning plan (PPLP) must be developed for all students
in a cooperative education program. A student’s progress
in achieving the curriculum expectations and in meeting
the requirements identified in the PPLP must be assessed
