This will be the first year for the WEX program here at Immaculata Regional High School. We are committed to providing practical learning opportunities for our secondary school students. Work Experience is intended to prepare students for the transition from high school to the world of work or future training and education. Work Experience allows students to connect what they learn in the classroom with the skills and knowledge needed in the workplace and society.

Students will use Work Experience to explore careers, to earn credits toward graduation, and to apply for community bursaries and scholarships. Work Experience also helps young people build a strong network of community contacts and references.

Immaculata Regional High School has a dedicated Work Experience Facilitator on staff to connect directly with students who want to explore Work Experience opportunities in the community.

Work Experience Courses (WEX12A & WEX12B - currently not available)

Elective Work Experience course (WEX12A ) is available to students in grades 11 and 12. Students interested in taking this course are required to complete an application package. WEX12 courses are "off-timetable", which means that students must be able to make time to complete the course requirements, often outside of school hours. Please note that students must complete the learning standards of Career-Life Education (CLE) before starting a WEX12 course.

WEX12A  requires students to complete 100 hours of community-based Work Experience placements, as well as several written forms and assignments. Students who complete a WEX12 course will receive 4 credits toward graduation. Completion of WEX12A is a pre-requisite to enroll in WEX12B.

Students who wish to utilize paid work hours for Work Experience credit may do so. All forms and assignments must be completed and submitted for paid work hours to be applied for credit. Students who wish to use paid work hours for WEX12B must be able to demonstrate NEW skills and learning from their WEX12A course.
