Co-Op Program

Cooperative education integrates classroom-based education with a practical work experience. The student earns high school credits while working in this structured job experience called co-op.

The Cooperative Education Program is a joint program between Mercy Career & Technical High School and local businesses and industry. It offers a qualified Mercy senior on-the-job training in his/her chosen career program. Students are able to work each afternoon in paid and unpaid positions. Students have been employed in over 100 businesses throughout the Philadelphia region.
