What is Work Experience? Work Experience is a class for high school juniors and seniors working a part-time job, or if 18 years old, possibly a full-time job, and want to receive up to 20 elective credits. Students enrolled in Work Experience can work a total of 35 hours per week, 7 more hours per week than students not enrolled in Work Experience. Students attend class once a week and are expected to work at least 10 hours per week for their "hands-on" job training. Each week in class, students complete assignments on job and career related topics. The Work Experience coordinator visits their job site each term to give each student feedback on their job performance. Students are graded on their attendance in class, assignments completed, job performance, and hours turned in. Each student must complete the work experience application form to be officially enrolled. Students must also have a training plan on file each semester.
