for the student. The college is dedicated to the students and the community that it serves and the

instruction with related community work experience provides the student with educational
opportunities which lead directly to productive employment in the community.

Following are the ways we are requesting you, the employer, to be involved:

tasks developed by the student for the purpose of improving their job performance
during the semester.

By allowing…….A short discussion visit by the Instructor/Coordinator. At this time the employee’s
measurable objectives are discussed and agreed upon.

By signing…….. A time sheet (which the employee must fill out) verifying the employee’s work
time on the job.

We are requesting your support and interest in participating with us in this Cooperative Work
Experience Education Program. Please read the Statement of Job-Oriented Learning Objectives,
