Work-Based Learning Program
In Syosset High School’s work-based learning program, students will build their academic, technical, and professional skills. Work-based learning plays a central role in bridging the classroom and work world, leading to improved educational and employment outcomes for participants.
Students in grades 11 and 12 are eligible to sign up for our internship program. The course gives students the opportunity to increase their understanding of a specific career through “on-the-job” experiences. The internship serves as an extension of the classroom and consists of a non-paid, supervised career experience. The focus of the internship is career exploration, and the job site will plan an appropriate variety of job tasks or responsibilities geared toward the enhancement of the educational experience of the student.
In the work experience program, students can earn half a credit for 150 hours of work or one credit for 300 hours of work. Students who elect to enroll in the program must have their job approved by the work experience coordinator, must be getting paid on the books, have their working papers, and must have received satisfactory job performance evaluations throughout the school year.
