Not only is Cooperative education an efficient method for businesses to acquire workforce, it also helps students to overcome the obstacles when transitioning from school to work. Despite the benefits that Cooperative education provides, the number of cooperative classes and students are gradually decreasing in recent years. The purpose of this paper is to study cooperative students’ satisfaction from four vocational schools located in central Taiwan. We compare learning experience students receive at school and work through surveys and analyze if coming from different backgrounds affect the result. The research reveals that the relationship between students’ satisfaction and training effectiveness in school and at cooperative factory are positive and correlated, which means the learning result affect students’ satisfaction. In terms of the order of learning satisfaction in school, students are most satisfied with school’s administration and teaching style comes into second place. The rest in descending order are core curricula, equipment, counselling, and specialty curricula. For the learning satisfaction in cooperative factory, orientation training has the highest rating and in sequence are the training course, learning results, direct supervisor, factory’s administration, environment, and lastly students are least satisfied with the benefits they received from the program. According to the satisfaction of working students, we can conclude that cooperative education structure is beneficial and has strong influence on students, schools, and even the industries.
