Cooperative Work Experience Education, or CWEE, is an academic program designed to accelerate the career growth of students by combining classroom learning with work experience, i.e. internships, employment or volunteer work. An agreement is established between the college, the employer and the student to develop work-based learning objectives and to use various mechanisms to evaluate learning outcomes. In addition to undertaking new learning objectives at work, students complete career development assignments according to their individual needs. Students may earn up to 4 units per semester of transferable college credit.
