Mrs Sandra Sosrtik is the university's director of cooperative education. The
purpose of the program is to provide students with practical experience in
fields that they study.

Students may now receive on-the-job
training while attending college. This is
made possible through the university’s
cooperative education program (co-op)
which is headed by Mrs. Sandra
Sosnik. The program combines on-the-
job training with college academic
study and is open to all students.
“Local and out of town businesses
strongly endorse cooperative educa
tion,” says Mrs. Sosnik, “we’re very
excited about the program.” Students
are exposed to different settings in a
particular occupation and get the feel
of what it’s really like outside of the
classroom.
The university program is federally
funded and is set up under two plans:
the alternating plan, which allows
students to work full time one semester
and attend class the next semester. The
other is called the parallel plan, in
which students work part-time and at
tend classes part lime.
Students in the cooperative educa
tion program receive college credit and
are paid while they train. Several hun
dred applications have been picked up
by students but as of yet have not been
returned, said Mrs. Sosnik.
Companies that participate in the co
op program often employ the students
they train, “Not only do the students
gain valuable experience but gel their
foot in the door” says Mrs. Sosnik
who has recently started her first
semester here at Winston-Salem State.
She had previously been employed with
ihc Winston-Salem Urban League.
Mrs. Sosnik also stressed the point
ihat students should not until
ihcir senior year to get involved but
should start as early as their freshman
year. Although there are no prere
quisites to enter the program, grade
point averages are important when be
ing considered for permanent employ
ment by a company. All interested
students should go to Mrs. Sosnik’s of
fice located in Coltrane Hall room 115.
