What is co-operative education?

Co-operative education or co-op is workplace learning. This is a compulsory part of many of the AUT degree qualifications and an essential part of what helps make graduates work ready. Each discipline approaches this slightly differently but it usually involves students spending time in the workplace as part of a degree course. Contact us for further information on who to approach if you are interested in offering workplace learning.
