CTE programs strengthen business and education partnerships to provide students with opportunities that reinforce skills and behaviors for the workforce.
Work release is a program that provides students an opportunity to develop essential employability skills, explore career pathways, and establish themselves in a work setting during school hours. Bruce High School offers non-credit and credit work release programs. In addition, students can participate in Youth Apprenticeship as well for credit and a certificate of competency from the Department of Workforce Development.

NON-CREDIT PROGRAM
The non-credit work release program gives students in their senior year a chance to get hands-on career training during school hours. Non-credit means the student will NOT receive Bruce High School credit for their work release placement. Seniors, with parent permission and administrative approval, who can follow the program guidelines will be released from school early to gain on-the-job training and work experience.
CREDIT PROGRAM
The credit work release program gives students in their senior or junior year a chance to get hands-on career training during school hours. The credit program requires students to complete activities to earn Bruce High School credit for their work release program. Seniors (or approved juniors), with parent permission and administrative approval, who can follow the program guidelines will be released from school early to gain on-the-job training and work experience.
