work. And, at age 35, Mike has
much more work experience than
the average co-op student. “In most
co-op placements," he says, "the
student is really getting their first
taste of the working world. | didn't
have that adjustment to make."

In many ways, he probably seemed
an unlikely candidate for the
Douglas College program. But his
success confirms the versatility and
flexibility of the co-op concept. Co-
op Education isn't just for an 18 year
old, and it isn't just for those whose
‘plans fit into the regular framework
of alternating work and study terms.

The program lends itself to the
needs of each student, to help him
or her achieve individual goals. For
Mike, some of the benefits were con-
fidence-building, a learning chal-
lenge, and the chance to enter his
new career field and begin to prove
himself on the job.

Mike says, "The Co-op Program
turned out to be really good for me,
because | was able to get into the
computer field, even though | wasn't
educationally “qualified”. It's given
me an opportunity | wouldn't other-
wise have had to get into program-
ming. They're happy here at Head-

work, and I'm certainly happy with it."

As Lynne Mann says, "The expecta-
tions have been met for everybody
involved."
