Summary
:
Mt. Diablo Unified School District high school students have the opportunity to participate in Work Experience as an elective course. Regular Work Experience course of study requires that students are employed and also attend a weekly Work Experience class. Given the current job market, students who don’t already have a job are finding it particularly difficult to secure paid employment. Students enrolling in Work Experience with the intent of obtaining a job are finding, after weeks of a job search and attending the Work Experience class, they are not earning credit. However, for many of these students, the Work Experience curriculum is extremely valuable for their continuing job search and employability skill development.
The Exploratory Work Experience course of study enables students to participate in non-paid work related activities and earn work experience credits but has not yet been utilized in MDUSD high schools. To provide students who need and want to conduct active job searches and gain employability skills, the Exploratory Work Experience course of study has been reviewed and is being presented with some minor changes for approval by MDUSD Board of Education. If approved, this revised course of study would go into effect for all students currently enrolled in Work Experience and not employed.
