Work Experience

Students can gain practical experience related to life skills and career opportunities by participating in a work experience course. Students may receive up to 30 credits towards their high school diploma. Go to the Students Services office for additional information and to check the Job Bulletin Board outside the music office for lists of available work experience sites (or look at the classroom/hallway TV monitor announcements).

What is RAP? 

The Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) is a highly successful program that enables high school students to become employed apprentices while they complete high school. RAP students earn both apprenticeship and high school credits, with no delay in their graduation from high school!

 

While most apprenticeship programs begin after high school, RAP gives students a head start toward certification and a solid career as a certified journeyman. RAP students earn at least minimum wage, and some employers pay more.

 

Students will receive more information in their social course in February. As well, there will be a parent/student meeting held March 11, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. in the Library. Additional information is easily available to you from the following sources:

 

Websites: www.tradesecrets.org and www.nextgen.org           

or contact the RAP Co-Ordinator at McNally @780-469-0442

The following students are currently working in the 1^st Semester to complete hours towards their 1^st year apprenticeship.

 

 

Way to go! You are a giant step closer to your career paths.
