Welcome to the Medicine Hat High School Work Experience Page!
Work Experience Information
This program gives students an opportunity to discover their career interest in meaningful work activities, situated in community-based work sites, in business, industry, government, and community service.
Work Experience allows students to gain new skills that they cannot acquire in a regular school environment. For example: customer service, interacting with employers/supervisors, working with fellow employees, etc.
Work Experience is time based: 25 hours equals 1 high school credit, and is available with the following credit options:
Work Experience 15 3 to 10 High School Credits
Work Experience 25 3 to 10 High School Credits
Work Experience 35 3 to 10 High School Credits
Note: A minimum of 75 hours (3 credits) must be worked before any credits can be awarded.
A job that you have may qualify for Work Experience credits, or a volunteer position.
