WECEP

What is WECEP?

WECEP (Work Experience and Career Exploration Program) is a state-approved, work training program that provides students, 14 and 15 years of age, with skills necessary to enter a gainful occupation and with an opportunity to explore career possibilities.  An employer in business or industry provides a training station for the student to develop skills necessary for a particular occupation.  The program is designed to provide career and technical training in addition to academic coursework in the general education curriculum.
 
Students are employed part-time during part of the school day.  In school, students devote their time to required courses for graduation and participate in a daily WECEP class, learning job readiness skills.

WECEP develops work-based training opportunity through the collaboration of the teacher-coordinator, the employers, parents and students.
