Work Experience is an elective work-based program for juniors and seniors. The school, the mentor, and the student are partners in helping the student experience hands-on practice to learn about a chosen career. The Work Experience Program consists of both the cooperative education and the internship programs. Cooperative Education students are part-time employees of a business and interns are unpaid observers in the workplace. Please access the Work Experience Handbook link below for a complete description of the program.

To investigate career options
To learn new aspects of a career
To develop good workplace behaviors
