"Be Brave, Be Honrable, Be Successful"

You should approach this course and your work experience as an incredible opportunity to learn about a career you are interested in. Keep your eyes open while you are at work and learn as much as you can with each career encountered.  Can you see yourself in that line of work in the next few years?   It will not be long before you will be pursuing your career dream.  I believe that Work-Based Learning will help you prepare for it!  Many classes talk about different career opportunities, but with WBL, you are allowed to experience career opportunities.  Don’t waste this time…it is not an early release class from school.   You might learn that you hate a particular line of work.  Isn’t it better to learn it now instead of years later?  Have you ever known someone to go to college, graduate, and then realize that they do not like their career choice?  It happens frequently.  I don’t want it to happen to you.  I look forward to a great year as you, your parents/guardians, employers, and I work together to help you get the most out of this educational experience.
