In the meanwhile, Prof. Gales also remarked that the US Cooperative Education originated in UC (in 1906) and after that, various US universities and more than 40 countries followed suit. In the process of the Cooperative Education, students will learn and apply the theoretical knowledge into their post practice and the challenges and problems arising from the work will further promote the students to conduct the in-depth study of the relevant theories. This Cooperative Education can provide the students with the optimal opportunities for the future employment after graduation, so the students can better understand the future career development conditions of the specialty they are currently engaged in. At the same time, they can obtain the necessary information about their future employment.
