TRUE OR FALSE? Students can earn a paycheck while earning
grades at FRCTC. TRUE! School-to-Work opportunities like the
Apprenticeship and Cooperative Education adds a paid career-based
learning component to the student’s program of study. Participation in
these programs allows the employer and FRCTC to work together to
meet the training needs of eligible students.
In ALL School-to-Work placement arrangements, the employment must
be related to the student’s vocational course of study. Student’s must:
[Be recommended by their technical program instructor, CTC
administrator and home school administration
[Maintain a B grade average in their technical course and at least a
C grade average in any applicable academic classes scheduled at Forbes
[Have good attendance, and be able to provide their own transportation
to and from the job site
[Keep a logbook, timesheets, and wage records
NOTE: Employers grade the students based on their job performance.
More information about School-to-Work Opportunities may be
found on our website under the ‘Programs’ tab at forbesroad.com.
Full speed ahead!
