In Alberta, there are a variety of off-campus education courses and programs. These include Work Study, Workplace Readiness/Practicum, Work Experience, Career Internship, and the Registered Apprenticeship and Green Certificate programs.
Additional off-campus experiences can be gained at McCoy through the PFO (Production Field Operator) program, or the Health Services program. See Mr. Immel in the off-campus office for more information.
Off-campus education is an experiential method of learning that integrates a student's classroom studies with recognized on-the-job work experiences. Off-campus education programs are based on a partnership involving the school, the parents/guardians, the student and the employing organization, i.e., business, industry, government or not-for-profit agency, with each of the partners sharing the responsibility for student growth and learning.
