CO-OPXVOCT Learning to earn Unlike other vocational classes, CVAE co-op does not pertain to any one aspect of the business world. Students who were interested in going to school for a half day could acquire jobs in almost any field. Junior Richard Presley said that he joined CVAE to get out of school a half day and to work and make money. ltls the only thing that keeps mc in schoolf, he said. During class, Richard explained, the students learned about the duties of working and what it takes to be a respon- sible worker.
