digitera high school co-op
history
One of the programs that Digitera launched in Fall 2016 was that of High School Co-Op Students. Provided by various High Schools from local School Boards in and around Ottawa, these Co-Op Students come to Digitera due to their interest in all things within the Computer Arts & Science fields…Programming & Coding, Graphic & Video Design and Digital Marketing. Our program started slow and has increased rapidly since then, with 149 students having come through the program to date (as of the Summer 2019 term).

requirements
As our Co-Op program has increased in size & scope, our requirements have equally morphed. Accordingly, we’ve prepared a description of our desired categories along with some requirement guidelines to go over. Note that they’re soft guidelines, and exceptions can be made for the right student. However, following these guidelines as much as possible will allow for much greater productivity for all concerned.

laptop
It is an absolute requirement that ALL Co-Op Students have their own Laptops (or Tablet for certain Designer-types) that they can bring to work every day. Students who don’t own a Laptop already will not be considered for the program.
In the past, we’ve made allowances for students to borrow laptops from their schools, but this solution is no longer viable due to our tasks requiring up-to-date laptops capable of handling todays digital workload.
