Is this correct?
Such cooperation can prepare students to be good team players and understand the value of other people’s perspectives.
Or should it be "...players and to understand..."
Or would both versions be correct?
Thank you!

I believe both are ok, but I suggest inserting 'to' gives 'understanding' equal emphasis with being good team players.

"...prepare students ... to understand" doesn't really work. They prepared him to understand is grammatical but a strange idea. You really need to add another verb: "... can prepare students to be good team players and help them to understand" or "... and help them to see".
can
prepare students to be ...
and
(can)
help them to ...
You can repeat or omit the second "can". The choice is a matter of style.
