Employment Opportunities for Youth (EMPLOY) 3 is a course that offers students unpaid internships with local businesses aligned to their career interests and postsecondary employment goals. This two-period, back-to-back class builds on the foundations of EMPLOY 1 and EMPLOY 2, emphasizing vocational exploration and the development of transferable, marketable job skills. Through hands-on internship experiences, students strengthen their understanding of the workplace while applying and expanding the skills learned in earlier courses.
Any student who is receiving special education services and whose Individualized Education Program (IEP) and transition goals indicate the appropriateness of the EMPLOY curriculum.
It is recommended that a student complete EMPLOY 1 and/or EMPLOY 2 before enrolling in EMPLOY 3.
EMPLOY courses can fulfill Sequential Elective requirement and Career and Technical Education (CTE) completer sequence elective.
