Then begin to explore a variety of jobs over the course of their high school career.  Some tasks are related to their interest and some experiences are designed to develop more general work related tasks. All experiences are designed to involve the student in a supportive but challenging work experiences necessary to develop appropriate and competent work behaviors.

Curriculum

While learning valuable job skills like responsibility, timeliness, and focus of purpose, the students in this program provide a variety of valuable services to the school community. The students perform a variety of functions in the library, cafeteria and in the pre-school class.  We seek out other tasks for the students involving office tasks, maintenance jobs like cleaning the student store and helping in the Nurse’s Office. We are working to expand our job cites and add new work experiences.

Materials Needed

Each job has specific materials needed.  Students keep weekly timesheets, which are graded and submitted for their work-study stipend.
