|

This
course is offered for 11th and 12th grade
students with a desire to receive
on-the-job training in trade and
industrial occupations. Students must be
at least 16 years old in order to
participate in CE. They can spend one-half
of the school day in school and work
during the other half; or a second option
is they can attend school all day and work
after school, evenings and/or weekends. In
this way, they earn while they learn. As
student-trainees for the year, they are
assigned to qualified journeymen or other
skilled workers who will be responsible
for the on-the-job training function.
When
CE students choose the 1/2-day work
option, the morning is spent in school
taking required courses for graduation.
They are also required to enroll in a
related class of trade instruction. Some
flexibility exists in scheduling the
related class but only with the approval
of the work coordinator. Students spend
the afternoon working in an approved
industry or trade where training and
experience is gained in the occupation of
the student's choice. Sometimes, this can
be reversed (morning at work and afternoon
at school).
Some
job opportunities are local and within
walking distance of the school. However,
many jobs require some form of
transportation in order to get to the job
on time. The student is responsible for
his own transportation. The student or the
CE teacher-coordinator may secure the job
opportunity. All places of employment
require the approval of the State
Department of Education. The CE
teacher-coordinator checks out all job
locations to insure against potential
safety or health hazards. An approval form
is mailed to the State Department.
Arrangements are then made by the CE
teacher-coordinator, with the employer, to
establish a realistic training program for
the student. A student begins work only
after all legal forms are completed. For a
young man or woman under 18 years of age,
working papers are required. Normally,
child labor laws exclude a minor (under 18
years) from working in potentially
"hazardous" occupations, jobs that involve
the use of machinery. However, special
exemptions are available to students who
are participating in CE programs.
Students
will work a minimum of 15 hours during a
school week. They may work an additional
eight hours on Saturday. On school days,
students may not work beyond 11 p.m. and
they may not work before 6 a.m., if they
work in the morning. During school
vacations, students may be employed to a
maximum of eight hours a day and a maximum
of 40 hours per week.
Eighteen
(18) year old CE students may work beyond
the maximums listed above with the
knowledge and written approval of the
teacher.
A
student receives 15 credits for CE; this
is earned based upon a combination of
satisfactory work in class and success in
on-the-job training. The related class
(scheduled five periods per week) is an
integral part of CE. The related class
includes general instruction appropriate
to all jobs and occupations. Such topics
as: career exploration, how to find a job,
how to advance in a job, and post-high
school planning is covered. Other general
areas of study include safety instruction,
consumer information, general math skills
and other topics that affect everyone's
livelihood.
The
class allows time for a student to gain
knowledge and skills that relate to
his/her career interests, as well as
specific trade mathematics and safety
awareness. Sometimes the employer
recommends related trade theory, or the
student has the opportunity to select some
areas of study. The CE student plans class
assignments with the teacher and
establishes deadlines for completion.
Through this process, the student learns
decision-making skills and accepts
responsibility for deadlines. Regular
attendance, a cooperative attitude and
good performance is essential in class, as
well as throughout the total school
program.
At
work, the employer is required to cover
the student with Workman's Compensation
Insurance, and is also required to observe
all laws and regulations, both State and
Federal, pertaining to the employment of
minors. The employer agrees to allow the
CE teacher-coordinator to visit
periodically for observation and
evaluation of the student's progress
on-the-job.

Co-op
Health Occupations is a work experience
program open to 11th and 12th grade
students. It is designed to serve those
students who have a sincere desire to work
in health related career fields. Students
may attend school all day and work in a
health facility after school, evening
and/or weekends.
The
program also allows students to attend
school for one-half of their day and to
work "on-the-job" for the other half of
their day at a health related
institution.
The
student attends a Co-op Health related
class. This related class is required and
is scheduled for 5 periods each week.
Flexibility in this meeting time can be
arranged but must be done with the
approval of the work coordinator.
In
this class the work experience coordinator
assists in the exploration of various
health occupations and health procedures.
Areas covered include: hospital procedure,
physical therapy, occupational therapy,
emergency procedures and other related
medical information, including
pharmaceutical information.
Students
must have a strong and continuing desire
to help people and desire to become part
of the medical community.
The
Health Co-op Class is scheduled with 10
periods a week in a student's schedule for
the Health Work Experience. The total
number of periods taken in the student's
schedule is 15. The 1/2-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 by the work coordinator if credit
is to be earned and school time used.
The
related class and the work experience are
joined together to earn a total of 15
credits.
