Work Experience Education
Students enrolled in the Work Experience Program are part of the regular High School Program. They can register in Work Experience 15, 25, or 35 for 3 to 10 credits. Each Work Experience course is time based; one credit for every 25 hours worked. The courses allow students to gain practical experience as they apply and expand their knowledge, skills and attitudes in contexts that will assist them in making wise decisions regarding their future education, training and employment upon leaving senior high school and allow for the smooth transition from school to work and/or post-secondary institutions.
 
Work Experience = Career Exploration

Workplace Practicum 
Students enrolled in Workplace Practicum are part of the Knowledge and Employability program (K&E). The courses are intended to provide students with opportunities to experience success and become well prepared for employment, further studies, active citizenship and lifelong learning. Knowledge and Employability courses include and promote: workplace standards for academic, occupational and employability skills
  • practical applications through on- and off-campus experiences and/or community partnerships
  • career development skills for exploring careers, assessing career skills and developing a career-focused portfolio
  • interpersonal skills to ensure respect, support and cooperation with others at home, in the community and at the workplace.
Workplace Practicum is the foundation of a K&E student’s programming. Students are required to successfully complete two to three placements. A minimum of 200 hours is needed for each placement. This translates into 10 credits for each occupational course.
