First, section 1 defines cooperative education, states NLC's philosophy, and cites the benefits of the co-op programs to students, employers, and colleges. Section 2 describes the organization of NLC's cooperative education department; lists the responsibilities of the co-op director; and offers a profile of the co-op instructor/coordinator and lists the selection criteria, responsibilities, and course load formula for the position. After section 3 enumerates requirements for student participation and lists student and instructor/coordinator activities during the co-op semester, section 4 offers information on awarding credit, grading policies, and NLC's academic cooperative education program. Section 5 describes and provides samples of each of the forms required in the co-op process. Sections 6 and 7 offer guidance for developing job-related performance objectives and list liberal arts skills which should also be developed. After section 8 suggests topics and presents guidelines for conducting cooperative education seminars, section 9 makes suggestions for locating training stations for immediate and future student placement.
