🎉 Celebrating an Incredible Year of Cooperative Education! 🎉

As we wrap up another successful year, CPACTC is proud to celebrate the impact of our Cooperative Education Program across South Central Pennsylvania. This year, 135 students gained valuable real-world experience through partnerships with 103 industry partners representing 22 programs of study.

Even more exciting, we welcomed 41 new employer partnerships, expanding opportunities for our students to learn, grow, and build meaningful career connections in their chosen fields.

These experiences would not be possible without the commitment, mentorship, and support of our outstanding business and industry partners. Thank you for investing in the future workforce and helping our students develop the skills, confidence, and professionalism needed for success.
