Work Experience Credit

Structured Work Experience credit is designed as pass/fail elective credit which is available to students who qualify by either:

• Successful application and placement in a work experience position posted through the Work Experience Program, or
• Referral by a counselor based upon qualifying criteria designated on Referral.

The student receives 0.5 elective credits for every paid (130 hours) work in the community. Eligible hours are from June 1 – May 31. A written training agreement is made with the student, parent, school and employer outlining program responsibilities. Work-place supervisors provide training, learning, goals and evaluation of the student’s general employability skills. Students will also complete additional activities and assignments outside of work time. There is a maximum of 3 credits/year and 4 credits through-out high school. The number of credits is determined by the number of hours worked. Students must provide their own transportation.
