WEX 12A and 12B

Work Experience is a program for Grade 11 and 12 students that prepares students for the transition from school to the workplace by integrating classroom preparation with practical experience. Students can earn 4-8 graduation credits.

WEX 12A & 12B focuses on giving students the opportunity to be placed into a work placement that will provide them the chance to explore and discover the many elements that are required of individuals who are interested in pursuing a career in a specific focus area. Some of the benefits include:

• Explore career opportunities

• Gain valuable work experience

• Develop skills and attitudes for the workplace

• Transition from school to work or post-secondary education

• Receive personal references

• Develop confidence and self-reliance

• Earn four graduation credits per course

As a part of growing up and completing school, at some point students will undoubtedly ask themselves:

"What do I want to do after I graduate high school?"

When trying to figure out what career, interests, or work experiences that might interest students, the WEX 12A & 12B Courses try to narrow down your work experience into specific focus areas:

• Business and Applied Business

• Fine Arts, Design, and Media

• Fitness and Recreation

• Health and Human Services

• Liberal Arts and Humanities

• Science and Applied Science

• Tourism, Hospitality, and Foods

• Trades and Technology
