Having a job provided an opportunity to earn money, learn responsibility, and build skills. Work Experience was a class that met once a week, and was offered to the working student. The class, instructed by lVlr. Ken Hagar, taught how to relate with other employees through lessons in self-confidence. Work habits like dress, grooming, punctuality, and dependability were stressed, The many things learned by the students were used in order to solve problems, and understand the job market.
