Our new Work Experience Education platform is JobSpeaker and can be found under the .
Work Experience Education is an academic program in which students earn college credit for what they learn while working at paid jobs or as volunteers (even if self-employed). Credits apply to the Associate Degree and can be transferred to 4-year California State Universities as elective credit. Each unit enrolled in is equal to 54 hours of paid or volunteer work.
Students are responsible for finding their worksite and coordinating with their supervisor. The Career Café team can aid in finding a worksite by assisting in the development of a resume or help with the job search process. However, this process should be completed prior to enrollment to avoid the risk of non-completion.
