Work Experience and Career Exploration Program (WECEP)

The Work Experience and Career Exploration Program (WECEP) is a work-based learning initiative sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor and the New York State Education Department. It is similar in design and operation as the General Education Work Experience Program, but designed specifically for at-risk students age 14-15. Students typically earn ½ to 1 unit of high school credit.

This program must be registered with the New York State Education Department; it may be coordinated by any teacher or guidance counselor certified at the secondary level who possesses an extension as Coordinator of Work-Based Learning Programs for Career Exploration.

For more information, see pages 33-47 in the Work Experience Manual.
