Cooperative Work Experience Education
(CWEE) is a process of education which combines work experience
with regular college instruction as an integral part of the community
college curriculum. It is called Cooperative Work Experience Education
because it is dependent upon employers' and educators' cooperation
to form a more complete educational program for the students.
It is a unique plan of education designed to develop skills and
knowledge and to improve self-understanding by integrating classroom
study with planned, supervised work experience.
It is based on the principle that
well-educated individuals develop most effectively through an
educational pattern which incorporates work experience. Through
these structured experiences in business, industry, government,
and human services, the students bring an enrichment to their
college studies which enhances their total development.
