Students attending a four year college or a community college will want to
check out "Cooperative Education(co-op)" when you enroll at your college. Co-
op is a program at some colleges when students work in a career related to
their major for 1-2 semesters. Co-op opens the door to real-world
professional experience and life changing opportunities. Co-op students
graduate from college w/ as much as $40,000 in their pockets, professional
contacts, an impressive resume, and job offers. Interested students should
check w/ Mr. Hobson in student services for more info or go to www.co-
op.edu. RAH 9-1-09
Students and parents should be aware that $10,000-50,000 can be saved by
attending a community college for the first year or two before transferring
to a 4 year public or private college. There is excellent information on
the cfnc.org website. Once there, click on the Transfer Student Planner.
Students and parents can also make appointments with Mr. Hobson, Career
Development Coordinator, or their counselor regarding using the college
transfer option. RAH 9-1-09
