PWCS partners with community businesses to provide opportunities for student explorers to discover their interests, preferences, and potential for successful postsecondary employment outcomes. Explorers spend most of their day engaged in work-based learning activities that provide opportunities for hands-on exploration of their career interests and preferences. In addition to acquiring marketable job skills, students learn to manage and meet the demands of competitive work, as well as develop the soft skills required of the 21st century workplace, such as responsibility, self-confidence, team-spiritedness, a good work attitude, and self-motivation and management.
Any student with a disability, aged 18 - 21, who has completed the requirements for an Applied Studies Diploma and whose IEP team has determined the need for an unpaid, community-based, High-Quality Work-Based Learning internship experience in a supported environment.
