Did you know you can get CTE credit?

Talk to Your Counselor!

With the Worksite Learning program, you can earn Career and Technical Education (CTE) credits through your job—like being a swim instructor at our pool! It’s a program where you practice what you’ve learned in a CTE class while working in the real world.

Steps:

Here’s how it works:

  • You must be 16 or older, employed, and have passed or be currently enrolled in a CTE class.
  • You’ll need to fill out an online application and a student packet, which you can get from your College & Career Center.
  • After your paperwork is in, a program coordinator will visit your workplace and set things up with your employer. Then, you can officially start tracking your work hours.

More Information

Every 180 hours you work earns you 0.5 credit, and 360 hours gets you a full 1.0 credit!

If this sounds like something you’re interested in, talk to your College and Career Advisor to get started. For more details, check out the full program on their website!
