Co-Op Program
Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School has instituted a cooperative employment program whereby students in Grade 12 will spend two (2) weeks in class and two (2) weeks in industry working in the occupation or trade they have been studying in school. Students are eligible to apply for the cooperative program in their last trimester junior year and into senior year.
Our Cooperative Education Program is designed to provide an opportunity to further a student's education through an actual work experience, while gaining valuable employability skills on the job. Typically, most job sites will have 2 students per 1 full time job, thus job sharing. Students will attend school for 2 weeks for academics and then return to their respective employers for 2 weeks for Co-Op.
If interested, please contact Kevin Lazaro, Cooperative Education Coordinator at 508-678-2891 x1300 or email at klazaro@dimanregional.org
