Formerly known as "co-op," is conducted cooperatively by local schools and businesses. Work experience in various types of occupations is received through employment each afternoon under the direction of skilled, competent employers. Each morning, the school provides individual instruction in the various aspects of each student's job in a special class conducted by a teacher-coordinator.
The program carries 1½ units of credit per semester because classroom instruction and on-the-job training are combined. Two consecutive semesters are recommended to complete the program. Students enrolled in these programs may be exempt from physical-education programs but are required to have completed ½ unit in Health.
