Work Experience
Work Experience provides an opportunity for students to enhance and apply, to real-life situations, knowledge, skills, and attitudes acquired through course work at school. It also allows our students to obtain skills that they cannot necessarily learn here at school. For example customer service, employer/employee interactions, fellow employee dynamics in a work setting, etc.
This program provides for partnerships between the student, the school, the employer, parents, and the community. These partnerships provide opportunities for students to explore and expand their career interests and aptitudes in meaningful activities, situated in community-based work environments. Additionally, students have the opportunity to
- understand employer expectations
- develop work skills
- see the relation between school and work
- benefit from employer contacts
- obtain references
- explore possible career interests
Any student in grade 10, 11, or 12 who has a part-time job during the school year or a position during the summer months, or who volunteers, can sign up for Work Experience. Grade 9's can also register in the summer following graduation from Grade 9.
