Cooperative work experience is a way to earn college credit through on-the-job experience in your chosen field. The program offers you a way to combine classroom study at WVC with related work experience under the supervision of an employer. Work experience, paid or nonpaid, must be related to your educational and career objectives. You must meet with the cooperative work experience coordinator to determine eligibility, then complete the enrollment process.
