Career Programs

Work Experience 11 and 12 are off-timetable courses where fundamental employment skills such as communication, problem solving, positive attitudes and behaviours, working safely, working with others and being adaptable are learned and developed. Experience really is the best teacher. Work experience provides opportunities to develop these skills in safe and low risk environments where the student is part of a cooperative partnership with the school and the employer.

Courses being offered at David Thompson include:

  • Work Experience 11 (0 Credit)
  • Work Experience 12 (4 Credits)

Students may get to explore potential career paths and gain experience for broad-based admission applications, beside expanding personal network, gaining a reference or getting a part-time job.

Work Experience students must complete 90 hours of work experience in addition to completion of assignments related to workplace safety, resumes and interviews, and any other assignments as given by their work experience teacher. Students will have two years to complete these 90 hours.
