An Evaluation of the Work Experience Education Program in Five Vancouver Secondary Schools. Research Report 75-19.
Middleton, M. A.
Since the spring semester of 1974, the Work Experience Program has been operating in a number of secondary schools in Vancouver, British Columbia. This report is a survey of opinions from students, employers, parents and teachers regarding various aspects of the Work Experience Program. The purpose of the program is not to create job skills as much as it is to help students become self-directed, confident, and mature adults. The majority of survey respondents favored the program, and the objectives of the program were met. Weakness in the program is seen in some of the placements of students, and some students wished to be provided with more information regarding their placements and the program. Some employers desiged placements longer than half days, and some teachers commented that there was too much lost class time. (Author/BW)
