THIS IS A MANDATORY GRADUATION REQUIREMENT!!!
The KSS Work Experience 12 Program is designed to provide students with new learning experiences that go beyond what is learned in school. Students will become "self-educators" in the work environment, where they are able to apply in-school learning to the work world. These experiences are extremely valuable in preparing students for their transition from the school setting to the work world. This program in conjunction with other Career Programs including Job Shadows, will provide KSS students with authentic "hands-on" opportunities to investigate possible careers for their future.
We will need the following pages filled out:
Safety Checklist completed by you and your employer together.
Career Conversation – Please tell me how this job will help you in your future or future employment.
Training Plan – you fill this out (take a picture of the complete page for your Capstone).
Evidence of Learning – you will answer these questions on a word document, print it off and staple to the orange sheets (save a copy of these answers for your Capstone).
Evaluations – fill out your student evaluation 1st, then ask your employer to fill out the employer evaluation.
Hand in the completed documents with your answers stapled together into the Career Counselling Center.
