Resources for job seekers, transitioning students, and employers on the North Shore.

Inclusive Work Experience Program

​

Inclusive Work Experience for complex learners is a program for our students with diverse needs. This experience helps prepare students for the transition from school to the workplace through activities that raise their self awareness, build employability skills, and encourage career exploration and job readiness.

​

The WEX program has two components:

​

• In-class instruction

• Work experience placement

​

The in-class component includes job readiness lessons as well as workplace safety. Students are accompanied by a job coach at all times and receive additional school support. The WEX facilitator works with the student, parent, employer and job coach to ensure a successful placement.
