Western’s co-op student, Heather, is fast-tracking her goal to become a hairstylist. After completing many of her required high school credits, Heather registered as a full time co-op student. She wanted to gain experience in the working world. Her teacher, Ms. Vrh, told her about the Hairstyling OYAP program that would enable her to complete her level 1 training while earning co-op credits towards her graduation diploma. Heather applied for and was accepted into the program (only 8 high school students were accepted across the GTA). She is currently completing her level 1 training and getting hands-on experience at Gossips Hairsytlists Inc. under the guidance of owner Mary MacDonald.
It's Western's link to the business community and the working world that give our students an advantage. Thank you Mary for providing such a wonderful and positive learning opportunity. Business people like you, working with students like Heather, are helping to make Western a great place to learn.
Can your business offer a co-op placement to a Western Tech student? Contact Ms Vrh at 393-0500 or through this website. We're always happy to hear from businesses abroad and in the community.
