Result of second-order confirmation factor analysis is consistent with empirical data χ2 = 310.537, df = 140, p = 0.000, χ2 /df = 2.218, CFI = 0.959, TLI = 0.950, RMSEA = 0.050, SRMR = 0.038. This discovery researchers hope that it will be the key to sustainable development of the human resource development platform in co-operative education courses that comes from the improvement and development of strategic ideas shared between academia and entrepreneurs.
