The focus is on career awareness and students may participate in school-based business and service activities. High school WAT is intended for 10th grade students.
Students focus on in-depth career exploration and job seeking and keeping skills.
Community work experiences help extend their exploration and work readiness skills. WAT students are interested in expanding their personal and career awareness, developing their problem solving and decision making skills, and preparing themselves to transition to life after high school. Middle school students participate in WAT programs located in their schools. Community work experiences are an integral part of all high school WAT programs. Each of these two parts includes several learning modules that can help students in their personal and career development.
