Work Experience Education (WEE)

Work Experience Education is a great way for high school students to earn units through coursework and a paying job. While being employed at a job of either the student's choice or teacher/counselor's assistance, the student is required to complete accompanying coursework that assists the student in personal career assessment, job market knowledge, and job search tools such as the job search, resumes, and interview techniques. Students can earn a maximum of 10 units of Work Experience per semester (depending on coursework and the number of hours worked) and a maximum of 40 units throughout their high school career. In order to be admitted into the program, students need to be a minimum of 16 years of age or in 11th grade. To become enrolled students need to:

• Read the Course Description (MS Word)
• Speak with their Independent Study Teacher about enrolling in WEE
• Download, fill out, and return a WEE enrollment form (MS Word) to Dave Peterson, CORE's School Counselor
• Begin thinking about what type of job fits the students goals
