Welcome to Marketing Cooperative Occupational Education (C.O.E) -

Cooperative Occupational Education ( COE ) extends student-learning opportunities beyond the school building into the workplace through supervised, part-time employment. This year long course serves as a laboratory experience for students enrolled in the Marketing Education class, and provides an actual paid part-time job closely supervised by the school. Students will be able to practice or observe skills learned in their marketing education class under the direct supervision of an employer who volunteers to participate in the program. Practicing marketing skills in a paid part time job greatly increases learning retention of marketing and business skills and allows students to make better career and college decisions.

This course will receive a vocational certificate. This class takes place after the school day and will not interfere with your regular school schedule. Student must work a minimum of 10 hours per week. All participating students earn college credits they can apply at Washtenaw Community College. This method of instruction counts towards credits towards the prestigious High School MBA Award.  This course is an integral part of the Marketing program at Pioneer and provides the opportunity for participating in the student professional organization, DECA.
