Caledonia Senior Secondary
will soon be asking local
employers to once again sup-
port its Career Preparation pro-
gram by. providing enrolled
students’ with on-the-job ex-
perience, says Joe Murphy, one
of three teachers involved in the
program. —.

All in their last semester at
school, participating students
put in from 100 to 120 hours
working at jobs related to their
grade 11 and.12 studies.

held by students were usually in
the service industry -~ fast food
outlets,. for example ~~ the pro-
gram gave them an opportunity
to “explore different options.”

them to go on te some form of
post-secondary education,

Murphy said giving the
students ‘‘a glimpse’’ of the
working .world would teach
them that specific skills are re-

Students are also required to
pass a minimum of five core
subjects such as English 12 and
Mathematics 11, six specialty
courses and 2 minimum of two
electives.

The specialty courses vary
depending on the field the stu-
dent is aiming at. At the mo-

program is offered only in the
areas of business education,
mechanics and construction
(joinery). However, Murphy
