This joint partnership between Wolf Creek Public Schools and these post secondary institutions allows great training access for our students, supports high school completion and helps students transition into a career path after high school.  The student must have met graduation requirements by the beginning of second semester to be eligible to participate full time in this program.

High School students are capable of earning up to fifteen high school credits. Any high school students interested in work experience must have the pre-requisite course Workplace Safety Systems (HCS3000) completed prior to starting their work experience. Work experience can include part-time employment, summer employment or volunteerism.
