Have a job? Enroll in Work Experience!
Need more units and have a job? Work-based learning is an excellent way to implement your classroom content, build your employability skills, and gain valuable leadership skills. In addition to developing these key skills, Work Experience is a great way to build your resume, maintain full-time student status and courses are CSU transferable!
Work Experience is a work-based learning course where students earn college credit for on-the-job training and experience at their job or paid/unpaid internship or volunteer position.
Students work one-on-one with a college instructor to craft individualized learning objectives that align with their current job or internship/volunteer position. The instructor meets with the student and their work-site supervisor to implement and assess the learning objectives throughout the term. Finally, students are required to submit a time log, as well as a written field report at the end of the term.
1. Register for ONE WRKX course in InSite: WRKX-160/WRKX-170/WRKX-180, or discipline-specific course
2. Complete a WRKX Employment Form
3. Attend orientation online
