DESCRIPTION:
If
you like the idea of working while going to school,
getting paid for on-the-job training and learning skills
you can use for college or full-time employment, consider
the Cooperative Business Education program. You
can work during your senior year, and when you graduate
from high school, you'll already have business office
experience in such areas as data processing, accounting
and records management. You might be a secretary,
a receptionist, a bank teller or an accounting clerk.
Your future career opportunities include being a business
manager, a legal or medical secretary or an administrative
assistant. A co-op program really expands your
educational options. |
