The MWRA Co-Operative Education program provides supervised workplace employment opportunities and learning experiences for qualified Massachusetts high school students. The goal of the program is to orient and familiarize the student with actual work situations and provide the student with an opportunity to observe, experience, and analyze work which is directly related to academic training. Additionally, the program will provide the student exposure to personnel, equipment, and procedures different from those experiences in the school setting and help the student bridge a gap between school and employment.
