Post-Secondary Transition
The Post-Secondary Transition program provides information on transition from high school to college and employmet; provides assessment and guidance on scholarships, careers, vocational training and work experience; produces annual College Night and Job Fair. Information about military programs, technical schools, college resources and private schools is also provided to students. This program also recruits businesses to participate in the work-to-career programs and coordinates activities in the district's career centers. Work Experience Education
Students who work can earn elective credit by enrolling in the work experience education program at their home high school. The Work Experience Education (WEE) program is a state-approved, accredited vocational education program that provides exploratory, general, and vocational curricula, which supports academic instruction. The district work experience coordinator issues work permits to students ages 14 through 18, ensures compliance with all labor laws, approves work sites, inspects job sites each quarter and provides related instruction for students enrolled in the program. Work Permits
ALL students under the age of 18 are required to apply for a work permit in order to work. The district work experience coordinator issues work permits to students ages 14 through 18. The coordinator also ensures compliance with all labor laws, approves work sites, and inspects job sites, if needed. Upon getting a job, students go to their career center at their home school to get the work permit application. The application is then filled out by the student, employer, signed by the parent/guardian and taken back to the career center to be issued by the work experience coordinator. The student may then start working. Work permits are a privilege, not a right, and that privilege is subject to additional regulations. Work permits may be revoked if the health, safety, morals, or education of the student is at risk. FOR MORE INFORMATION CALL YOUR STUDENT'S HIGH SCHOOL CAREER CENTER. |
