Good for employers.
Good for students.

Work-Based Learning programs benefit students by allowing them to acquire real-world experience in their field of study. These programs enable students to develop positive work habits and attitudes; establish career connections and expand professional networks; and become better informed and able to make smart decisions about their career choices. Students that are hired for co-op/intern positions will be company employees and under company guidance.

College courses are necessary to complete a degree—and the experience gained from a real-world work program serves to enhance a student's education.
