Program (WECEP)
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 at-risk of dropping out
of school. 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.
