EARN ELECTIVE CREDITS VIA WORK EXPERIENCE
Students!
Do you need elective credits? Do you have a part-time job?
Did you know you can earn 2 credits per quarter for working after school?
To take advantage of the work experience program, the first step is to check with your counselor to see if you still need electives. If so, he will direct you to Mr. Iwen, the Work Experience Coordinator who can get you set up with the paperwork and information you need for work experience credit.
This is a great way to earn credit for something you might already be doing!
If you are interested in work opportunities or need help searching and applying for jobs talk to Mr. Iwen in room 1109.
