    Description
    This course involves student employment or internship providing meaningful work experiences related to the health occupations course of study, combined with instruction in critical workplace skills. Work experience education may include paid or unpaid employment, full or part- time employment with a licensed business. Work Experience supports student educational and occupational goals, including developing career awareness, learning industry culture, and developing professional networks in career fields. All Work Experience enrollments require attendance of an orientation session. Instruction is also provided through course modules, work- based learning with a participating supervisor, and meetings in office or at the student worksite. Instruction focuses on goal setting to develop job-specific skills, enhancement of soft skills in the workplace, and career development. Subsequent enrollments require new individualized learning objectives. Units are awarded based upon achievement of approved learning objectives, workplace performance, submission of course assignments, and documentation of work hours. Enrollment in Work Experience courses is limited to a maximum of 14 units per enrollment. Students earn 1 unit of credit for each 51 hours of paid or volunteer work. This course has been approved for Hybrid delivery.
