School to Work Transition Programs
These programs are based on partnerships between the school and the community and involve the participation of students, teachers and employers. The programs promote closer association with working adults who are willing to share their knowledge to help students make informed career and educational decisions.
Current school to work transition programs available:
- The Cooperative Education Program is offered to grade 12 students in District 02. This program offers students an opportunity to spend time with an employer participating in the type of career the student is hoping to pursue. Students earn graduation credits for their participation in this program.
- The New Brunswick Youth Apprenticeship Program is available to grade 10 and 11 students. In this program, students complete a regular high school program, plus gain paid work experience outside of school hours. These students, upon completion of the program, are candidates for a preferred or guaranteed seat at University of New Brunswick or the New Brunswick Community Colleges.
- Work Experience Education is an opportunity for students to gain work experience with the aid of a Job Trainer. This program offers valuable work experience, strengthens employment skills, develops an understanding of employer expectations, and further develops students’ self-confidence and self-esteem.
