Work-Based Learning
Work-based Learning at Central Educational Center is a part
of the student’s program of study and is linked to
a defined career goal. Students must apply for the program,
have excellent attendance, meet performance goals, and have
an acceptable work ethic.
Students may participate in work-based learning in the following
ways:
- Job shadowing: Students report to a job site to explore
opportunities in that field of study
- Internship: Students
work either paid or unpaid at a job site that is in
their field of study
- Cooperative Education: Students are enrolled
in a cooperative class and work one or two class periods
- Youth
Apprenticeship: Students may work as many as three
blocks in their field of study. They also commit
to work
2,000 on the job and to attend postsecondary
education.
