Delaware County Technical High School Cooperative Education Program
Delaware County Technical High School is looking to partner with electrical companies for our Cooperative Education Program.
DCTS would like their students to have the opportunity to see what it would be like to work in the electrical field. They are asking any local business if they would be interested in learning more about our Electrical program and Cooperative Education Program. Students are carefully screened before being enrolled in our co-op program. Student requirements include a driver’s license, transportation, excellent attendance and outstanding work ethic grade.
Please contact Chris Marshall at
cmarshall@dciu.org
or 610-291-5024. You also can contact their Electrical instructor, Harry McGinnis, who is also a fellow EAP member, for more information about his program at
hmcginnis@dciu.org.
