Work Experience provides opportunities for senior high school students to apply their knowledge, skills, and attitudes in the workplace.
These courses also provide opportunities for the school and community to combine resources to further students’ career development and build their employability skills. Through work experience, students may discover their occupational interests and aptitudes in meaningful work-integrated learning activities.
