Work Experience - WEXP
Get Credit for Working
by taking Work Experience courses WEXP 251 or 252.*
What is Work Experience?
A course for students to earn college credit for
learning
while on the job. Two courses, WEXP 251 & 252, make up the
Cooperative Work Experience Program
.
What is the Purpose of Work Experience
?
To increase and/or improve
skills
,
knowledge
,
attitudes
and
behaviors
in the
workplace
.
Key Facts:
Students must have a
job
,
internship
, or
volunteer position
during the course.
Students may enroll in only
one
work experience course
each semester
tied to
one
job.
No weekly classes
to attend. The student's "classroom" is at work.
Students are able to earn
college credits
(CSU transferable) for the
average number of hours
worked each week.
These work hours equate to the number of units that can be earned.
All class information, assignments, forms, and due dates are found on
Canvas.
Benefits of Participation:
Good for the student and for the employer!
Improves/increases workplace skills, knowledge, attitudes and behaviors.
Increases job satisfaction, enthusiasm and motivation.

* All WEXP courses
other than WEXP 251 and 252
