Career-Based Learning

Youth apprenticeships are available only to juniors and seniors. These work programs involve both class work, release time for a job, and on-the-job training. This program is designed to integrate “school-based” and “work-based” learning and to provide the student with academic and occupational skills. The student takes three or more periods of applied academic courses with the remaining time spent in the apprenticeship with local business. Students must meet all the steps listed above for the school-to-work program and in addition, they must be: approved by KHS staff, and ensure forms are completed throughout the course/year. Upon completion of the one or two-year program students receive a high school diploma, possible technical college credit, and a state certificate of occupational proficiency in the related industry.

School-to-work programs are available only to juniors and seniors. These work programs involve both class work, release time for a job, and on-the-job training. This program is a cooperative effort between the school district and local businesses. Upper classmen work (in their chosen career field) and receive credit plus a salary. A student will receive 0.5 credit per period worked each trimester. Students will be graded on a pass/fail basis. Students will also have the opportunity to earn an employability certification through the state-recognized Employability Skills Program.
* Students can earn a maximum of 1.5 credits through work-based learning during each school-year.

If you have questions about the KHS school-to-work program, please contact your school counselor or Mr. Rohlinger at trohlinger@kewaskumschools.org.
