INTERRELATED OCCUPATIONS - WORK STUDY PROGRAM
Students enrolled in this course during the second semester will meet the Consumer Education requirement for graduation.
This cooperative education program is designed to provide students the skills needed to be successful in our rapidly changing global economy and workforce. Classroom topics include: job search skills (resumes, networking, interviewing techniques), career exploration, occupational survival skills (decision making, problem solving, goal setting, interpersonal) as well as money management skills. Students are released from school and receive credit for their on-the-job cooperative work experiences enabling them to apply the skills learned in class.
They will work an average of 12-15 hours per week. Students must have a job prior to the start of the class or risk being dropped from the program. There are always students with jobs waiting to join and space is limited.
This course can be taken for a semester or an entire school year.
