Work Experience Students Hold Jobs Eighty ninth and tenth graders worked atjobs from fast food service to janitorial service to help their fam- ilies, or to gain experience, and got credit for it. They were part of the Work Experience Program whose students received three credits for working and for attending special in- struction classes at school. Large group instruction was offered for the first time. Ninth grade boys and girls and tenth grade boys and girls met in grade groups to hear re- source people from businesses, and the Chamber of Commerce discuss employability skills, such as attitude toward work and school, loyalty to employer and the relationship be- tween work and school.
