The work study program is a structured, supervised, hands on work experience (paid or unpaid) in a community-based setting. Students are typically introduced to a variety of half day training sites beginning in the third year of high school. Competitive employment prior to graduation or existing is the primary goal. The majority of students enrolled are not pursuing postsecondary education but rather enter directly into the work world. The purpose of the program is to provide an opportunity for students to engage in activities related to IEP needs for transition services in the areas of employments, independent living and community access.
