What is WECEP?

WECEP is a state-approved, work training program that provides students, 14 and 15 years of age, with skills necessary to enter a gainful occupation and with an opportunity to explore career possibilities.  An employer in business or industry provides a training station for the student to develop skills necessary for a particular occupation.  The program is designed to provide career and technical training in addition to academic coursework in the general education curriculum.
 
Male and female students are employed in jobs during part of the school day.  In school, students devote their time to required courses for graduation and participate in a daily WECEP class, learning job readiness skills.

WECEP develops work-based training opportunity through the collaboration of the teacher-coordinator, the employers, parents and students.
