All teen parents who are not enrolled in an occupational education program are required to participate in the mentoring program. An informational form is completed by each student. A mentor luncheon is held in September. The school screens and matches students and mentors, sets criteria for the visits, provides support materials, supervises students at the workplace, and provides transportation. Evaluation is done by comparing later entries to earlier ones.
Coordinators are able to watch for potential problem areas.
Attendance, career choice data and training are all tracked. Students use their journals to reflect on the skills they used at the worksite and might use elsewhere.
