Work Experience and Career Exploration Program

The Work Experience and Career Exploration Program (WECEP) is a one or two year school-to-work transition program designed for students ages 14 and 15 who are disengaged with the educational process.

The goal of the program is to provide intensive intervention strategies to encourage at-risk students to improve their academic class, develop a career plan that guides their transition from school-to-work, demonstrate a positive work ethic, and remain in school after the age of 16 by providing a work-related class and on-the-job experiences.
       
         

 

 And now imagine…

 

  • An alternative to main stream school where you can still obtain qualifications but without all the daily obstacles that seem to make your school life difficult….
  • A school that has time to spend with you and get to know you as an individual
  • Lessons designed around you, that you enjoy and that fit your individual preferred style of learning
  • Lessons that are fun and at your own pace
  • One to One time with a teacher who can help you with whatever you may be struggling with
  • A program that you look forward to attending every single day and can help you achieve that 100% attendance
  • A place where you are listened to no matter what you say
  • Somewhere that lots of different abilities come together instead of lots of labels
  • A school where you always feel included and where you wont get excluded for having a bad day
  • A place that is warm and friendly where you feel comfortable an able to turn up no matter what may have happened the night / day before
  • Somewhere you can go and feel valued and respected
  • A school without a uniform that doesn`t judge you on how you dress
  • An education system that understands we all have good days and bad days, and sometimes you just need that bit of extra space and support
  • A new start everyday.. with all yesterday`s issues left behind


Imagine… if this existed.
