The Work-Study Program is a cornerstone of the FCPS School-to-Careers
Transition Education Program that helps learners make smooth transitions
between education and employment. A cooperative venture between the school
system and employers, it is planned and supervised by school staff and
employers. It enables students to develop additional skills in a field
of interest while working and provides a well-trained student work force
for local business and industry. Eligible 12th grade students may spend
a half day in classes and a half day at a job. To apply, contact your
high school Work-Study coordinator before the end of the junior year.
Pre-Apprenticeship
Program
High school students enrolled in the pre-apprenticeship program attend
regular classes for half of the school day and work under the supervision
of a sponsoring employer the remainder of the day. In addition to earning
wages, the student can accumulate work experience credit that applies
toward a registered apprenticeship agreement. Successful academic and
job performance could lead to a full-time supervised work experience in
the second semester of the senior year. |
