Welcome to an opportunity to learn by experience. This unique experiential learning program integrates classroom studies with work-based learning experiences related to a student’s academic and career goals while simultaneously earning academic credits.
About The Program The Co-op/Internship Program at Virginia Highlands Community College is an academic program for credit designed to provide a work-based learning experience. Each work experience represents a partnership among students, VHCC, and regional employers. Cooperative education students are paid and work at job sites in positions related to their future career goals. The typical workweek is 5-25 hours depending upon the number of academic credits to be earned. Students may also take advantage of the internship program (without pay). Work-based learning combined with classroom theory serves to enhance the development and professional preparation of the co-op/internship student.
