CTE Workplace Experience (WE) Program

Through the CRSD's CTE Workplace Experience Program, students gain practical work experience while working on a job-site and receiving a high school elective credit. The workplace experience is best if done in a career area that is related to the student’s future plans.  It is open to juniors and seniors only.

Students may earn no more than one credit of work experience credits towards graduation.  A maximum of one credit may be earned through Summer Work Experience.  A second credit of work experience may be available depending upon the level of success in a student’s first work experience.

There are two types of workplace experience options. Employers involved in these programs are required to abide by all State and Federal labor laws.

  • Cooperative (Work Coop)
    • Paid employment
    • 180 hours required for ½ high school credit
    • Work must all take place in the same semester.
    • Verification of hours is required.
    • Journal, career development survey, and other documents required.
  • On-the-Job training (OJT)

    • Work must all take place in the same semester.
