Filkins-Grace I ■i •- etting an edge Work! Work 1 Work! Work! Whistle while you work! Work experience was designed to give students credit while they worked a part time job. It ' s a fun way to get credits, while I ' m mak- ing bucks, said Yvonne Durham. Larry Jansen and Char- lotte Kennedy were work experience instructors who helped students get work permits, fill out applications, and understand the pro- gram and job market. The program offered credit for a learning exper- ience off campus in a ' com- munity classroom ' enabling students to gain a greater variety of learning. Also, it helped prepare students for full time jobs and adult re- sponsibilities. Having a job has prepared me for adult- hood, said Darren Proulx. In order to participate in Work Experience you had to be at least sixteen years of age, employed, and have a current work permit. If you were under eighteen years old, you had to turn in a weekly report (time cards) every Tuesday. For every two hours a stu- dent worked, he received 0.5 credits. They could earn a maximum of ten credits each semester. Students grades depend- ed upon several things: the employers evaluations of his job; an evaluation done by the work experience coor- dinator when he visited the job site; the students individ- ual effort; meetings in which vocational educational ob- jectives were set; assign- ments completed; and com- pleting fifteen hours of relat- ed instruction during each semester. 2.
