Career Related Education Work-Based Learning Program Student HandbookThis handbook belongs toName _______________________________________ Career Pathway _______________________________ To all Work-Based Learning Students:Congratulations! You have been selected to participate in the Gordon County School System Work-Based Learning Program. It is the beginning of an exciting and rewarding experience as part of your career pathway and workforce experience. Ideally, your job placement will be connected to at least one CTAE course you have taken or are currently enrolled in. Through participation in Work-Based Learning, classroom learning is combined with work experience. Along the way you will be expected to meet certain standards and assigned criteria. Knowing what is expected of you at school and during your worksite experience will help you to succeed, so take the time to read the following pages carefully. You will be expected to complete assignments and participate in activities like mock interviews and ongoing conversations with your Work-Based Learning Coordinator.With the honor of being released from school to work on a related job site comes a responsibility involving career commitment and continued effort on your part. The fact that you have been selected shows that you are willing to strive for success and build a foundation for your future career. You are also expected to act as a representative of Sonoraville High School at all times. Participation in this program means you are held to a higher standard of excellence by the school and your employer.Best wishes as you begin on the new venture. I wish you success and pledge my support in this endeavor.Warmest regards,Andrea Walraven, Ed.DSonoraville High SchoolWork-Based Learning/Youth Apprenticeship Coordinatorawalraven@706.238.0250STUDENT EXPECTATIONSWork-Based Learning students are expected to excel in three major areas: academic performance, school and workplace behavior, and job performance.As a WBL student, you must maintain a C average at school and have a 90% attendance record. You may take advantage of many support services to help you achieve these goals, but you have to do the work! Failure to meet either of these goals can result in termination from the program and possible loss of credit for the course.Participation in this program means that your work site is an extension of the school program. Think of your job site as a remote lab environment. To participate in WBL, you must demonstrate acceptable behavior at school and at the worksite. You are expected to follow the standards of behavior of your local school system as well as those of the employer.ATTENDANCE POLICYThe WBL experience is designed to instill the importance of positive work habits and attitudes both on the job and in the classroom. You must assume responsibility for regular attendance at your school and your worksite on the assigned day.Remember, if you do not attend your high school classes you cannot report to the job site except by special permission.YOUR ATTENDANCE WILL AFFECT YOUR ELIGIBILITY FOR CREDIT.It is also important in your evaluation by both your mentor and teacher.You must go to work every day that you are required to be in attendance. You are an employee of the business and your mentor depends on you to be at work every day. Your mentor assigns you important work every day and if you are absent then that work is not completed. YOU ARE AN EMPLOYEE OF THE BUSINESS PARTNER and you must follow the same rules as other employees.If you are sick and cannot attend school/work, you MUST call or text your mentor and WBL coordinator BEFORE you are scheduled to begin school/work that day. If you know you will be unable to attend work in advance, for example, you must take a test at school, let your mentor and WBL coordinator know well in advance why you are going to be absent and the days you will be absent.I strongly encourage you to schedule all doctor and dentist appointments outside of your work hours; however, should you have an appointment, let your mentor know PRIOR to the day of the appointment.If you are absent due to a death in the family, you must call or have someone else call your mentor and instructor.Unexpected absences are considered to be evidence of undesirable work behavior and are STRONGLY discouraged.No show to work, without a phone call and/or prior approval:First Offense-Written WarningSecond Offense-Discipline ReferralThird Offense – Possible removal from the programAttendance ProceduresIt is imperative that you understand communication is crucial in your success in the WBL Program. You absolutely cannot attend one without attending the other in terms of school and work. If you do not attend school, you cannot attend work. Your WBL Coordinator will check your attendance regularly.All absences must be approved by both the WBL Coordinator and your Work Supervisor.You must contact the WBL Coordinator and your Supervisor prior to your known absence as well as the morning of your absence.You must complete the absence form attached to your time sheet for all absences including fieldtrips and college visits. If you aren’t at school, you need an absence form documenting.Each day you are required to check in or out using the WBL tab in the office. DO NOT use this method if you are not going or returning from your WBL placement. For example, if you are going to the doctor instead of work you will need to check in as tardy or check out as leaving early instead of WBL.If you have WBL in the morning and you do not attend school, you must check out of school in person with a valid reason. Attendance is counted during school and work.I am absent:Step One: Contact Dr. Walraven, 706.238.0250Step Two: Contact My Supervisor ______________________@ __________________________Step Three: Complete Absence Form attached to time sheet and return to Dr. WalravenStudentSignature: __________________________________________ Date: _______________WBL INFORMATION SHEET for CNET DOCUMENTATIONName ___________________________________________ ID# ___________________________Graduation Year:202120222023Student's Program Area of Concentration for Career Pathway (circle choice)AgricultureAutomotiveBroadcast Video ProductionConstructionEngineering, Drawing & DesignFine Arts (Art, Chorus, Band)Foreign LanguageGraphic CommunicationsBusiness & Computer ScienceEarly Childhood EducationEntrepreneurshipHealthcare ScienceIndustrial MaintenanceInformation TechnologyJROTCManufacturing (Mechatronics)Marketing, Sales & ServicesTeaching As A ProfessionPrint the following information neatly:Business Name: __________________________________________________________________Business Address: ________________________________________________________________Business Phone #: ________________________________________________________________Supervisor: ______________________________________________________________________Supervisor Phone #________________________________________________________________Student Job Title: __________________________________________________________________Hourly Wage:_________________________________________________________________Average Hours Per Week: ___________________________________________________________Typical Work Hours (Ex: 2PM - 8PM): _________________________________________________Work-Based Learning Student InformationLast NameFirst NameAddressCityZip CodeHome PhoneBirthdateE-mailCell PhoneEmergency ContactEmergency Phone No.Live with Mom/Dad/BothGuardian Name(s)AddressGuardian Phone #’sDear Parent/Guardian:I am delighted your son/daughter has enrolled in the Work-Based Learning Program for the Gordon County School System.

He/she will receive one unit of credit for each class release period for the program in each semester enrolled.The program demands a lot of responsibility on the part of your son/daughter in arriving daily safely to the worksite and also keeping up with their notebook/portfolio. It is the student’s responsibility to be in class every day and to be in attendance at the worksite daily. The student is responsible for following the school’s attendance policy. He/she may have no more than five absences per semester. If he/she is absent more than five days in the semester from school/worksite, then he/she must provide documentation for absences for the program before credit may be granted.Your child has received a copy of the Work-Based Learning Parent Orientation PowerPoint.

At the beginning of school, there are a number of forms that the school must have on file for these students since they are receiving the same unit of credit for this course as English, Math, etc. Each student will need to have this letter, an early release understanding/insurance verification form, a training agreement, and an initial training plan signed and on file. These forms will require your signature.The training agreement explains what is expected of all parties involved in this program and the training plan identifies tasks that the student is now performing or learning on the job. In the past, we have had a slight problem with excessive absences from school with some students. We realize this is not your concern; however, we would like to solicit your help to remedy this problem. A student who is absent from school for the day is not allowed to participate on the job for that day. If a student is absent, I may call you to confirm whether or not the student reports to work.If the student has reported to work, the school will deal with the situation according to the program policies. We have informed the students that it is their responsibility to adhere to this policy and we appreciate your cooperation in this matter. Hopefully, working together, these students will become more productive and dependable employees and citizens of the community.Each grading period, the student or Work-based Learning Coordinator will bring a job evaluation form to you to be completed. You should be able to fill it out in approximately five minutes. Your comments about the student-employee are always important.Thank you in advance for your cooperation. I hope you will find that students in the Gordon County Career Related Education Work-Based Learning Programs do an excellent job for you.
