Career+Programs

__CO-OP PROGRAMS__: Co-op programs combine academic and/or focused studies with related work experiences. Queen Elizabeth Secondary School is known District-wi de for the intergrity and variety of our co-op programs. In 2018-19, we are offering co-op programs in:


 * Bio-Geography Co-op 11 or 12
 * Humanities Co-op 11
 * Mechanics Co-op 11 or 12

Each co-op consists of 2-3 core subjects and 2 work experiences, as well as support and credit for the completion of Career Life Connections 12. In the semester of your co-op, you have the same teacher, classmates and classroom for all courses. Students will also complete two different work experience placements; therefore, you should expect some acceleration of in-class material in order to allow for this component of the program. If you are unsure or have any questions, please contact the Career Centre where we will be glad to help you with your academic and/or career decisions. **Learn more about co-ops by clicking on the** **Go ** **Co-op picture logo above**.

<span style="font-family: &#39;Lucida Sans Unicode&#39;,&#39;Lucida Grande&#39;,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Do you like working with your hands? Are you interested in becoming a skilled tradesperson? Do you want to explore your creative side or learn a marketable skill? Then you should have a look at the District Partnership Programs. They're called that because the Surrey School District partners with post-secondary institutions or other organizations to provide opportunities for students to get a head-start on their careers! Partnership programs provide students with opportunities to receive industry certification, or post-secondary course credits, in addition to meeting the requirements for high school graduation. **Click on the Skilled Trades and Technology handout (below)** and visit the Career Centre to talk to a Facilitator about the many benefits of participating in a Partnership Program (not the least of which is the possibility of earning a $1,000 scholarship!)
