CAPE COD -- In the 2017-18 school year, there were 129 students enrolled in the UCT Co-Op program, which allows juniors and seniors to alternate weeks between academic study and working at a local business to learn a trade. Those students didn’t just learn real-life skills, they earned a combined paycheck of $676,176! Co-Op participating partner companies give the students this invaluable opportunity. For the students that go to college, they have money in the bank to combat the price of tuition, as well as workplace skills that will serve them in any profession. For those who go into their chosen trade upon graduation, they have a leg up after learning hands-on from professionals, and possibly a job offer as a result of the UCT Co-Op experience. Whichever route the students choose, the success of this program speaks for itself. These UCT Co-Op partner companies are helping to train the next generation and equip them for life after formal education: A.D. Makepeace Co.
