This is a work experience program open
to 11th and 12th grade students. It is
designed to serve those students who wish
to work in a home economics related field
such as nursery school aide or food
service worker.
The program allows students to attend
school for one-half of their day and to
work "on-the-job" for the other half at a
home economics related institution. Some
students choose to attend school all day
and work after school or evenings, and/or
weekends (depending upon the employer's
work schedule).
The student attends a Family/Consumer
Sciences related class. This related class
is required and is scheduled for 5 periods
per week. In this class the work
experience coordinator assists in the
exploration of various home economics
occupations. Areas covered include safety
on the job, job interviews, sanitary job
procedures, interpersonal relationships,
etc.
The Family and Consumer Sciences class
is scheduled five days per week of related
instruction with ten periods per week in a
student's schedule for the CO-OP Work
Experience Program. The total number of
periods taken is 15. The half-day work
experience portion may be scheduled either
in the morning (AM) or in the afternoon
(PM). Job placement determines whether a
student works mornings or afternoons.
Job placement is normally accomplished
through the work experience coordinator.
However, students may seek and gain
employment on their own but the work
station must be approved finally by the
work coordinator if credit is to be earned
and school time used.
