CAREER PREPARATION

Dear Student (and Parents):

Welcome to the Career Preparation Program (COOP). You are receiving this letter because you registered in the

program at Shadow Creek High School for the 2017-2018 school year.

You will receive valuable information regarding the program, expectations, and what you can look forward to during

the school year.

This letter provides some basic information you will need to prepare for this course.

Requirements to be in the program:

1. Junior or Senior

2. 16 years or older

3. Local job (Alvin, Friendswood, Pearland, Manvel, Baybrook, Clear Lake area)

4. Job not prohibited by TWC (see Child Labor Laws attachment)

5. Cannot be employed by a family member

6. Work at least 15 hours per week (entire year)

7. Reliable transportation

8. Excellent school attendance

If you have not already obtained a job, you will need to do so immediately. Unfortunately I cannot guarantee you a

job; however, I may be able to assist you in obtaining job interviews. I am currently in the process of working with

local businesses to create job-training-stations. If you need assistance in creating a resume or tips on interviewing,

feel free to contact me and I will meet with you in the classroom before school is in session.

It is important to begin your job search now because you must have a job and a training plan signed by your

employer and parents on file by the 8th class day to remain in the program. If you are still unemployed on the 9th

school day, you will be required to meet with your counselor to change your schedule.

Should you need assistance in your job search, please feel free to call me. If I am out of the office, please leave a

voice message, and if necessary, I will return your call. I anticipate a rewarding experience for all involved in the

Career Preparation Program, and I take great pride in welcoming you into our organization.

Sincerely,

LaToya Micheaux

CAREER PREPARATION

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES

1. I am not guaranteed a job, nor am I assigned to a job. However, my teacher/coordinator may assist me in

locating a training station or securing a job interview. I realize my teacher/coordinator must approve my

training station and has the authority to supervise it and finalize all agreements between myself and the

employer.

2. All training stations must be operated from a place of business which keeps regular hours, operates out of a

building which is not a residence, and has a phone by which I may be contacted at all times. The business must

have a DBA (registered business name) and tax i.d. number.

3. I cannot work for a parent or immediate relative, as this is not in line with the program objectives and does not

simulate typical, realistic job situations.

4. All training stations must have a supervisor on duty at all times. The supervisor must be directly responsible

for the supervision of my job performance. I may not act as my own supervisor or be self-employed.

5. I must be employed by the 8th school day. If I fail to do this, it is my responsibility to meet with my counselor

to enroll in a different course to avoid loss of credit.

6. I must work a minimum of 15 hours per week on the job. Ten of these hours must be worked Mon. through Fri.

7. I am responsible for my own transportation to and from my approved training station.

8. Once I have accepted a job, I must remain employed with the same company throughout the entire school year

(August-June.) Job-hopping will not be permitted.

9. One job change per school year may be granted under special conditions. I must first speak with my

coordinator to discuss the situation and opportunities. Only after my coordinator has approved the job change

and I have a signed training plan from the new employer I may give a letter of resignation to my current

employer.

10. A letter of resignation is mandatory when terminating employment (minimum two-week notice). I must consult

with my teacher/coordinator for approval prior to any resignation. Failure to provide and work out a 2 week

notice will result in a failing grade. You must leave on good terms!

11. If my employment is terminated, I must notify my teacher/coordinator within 24 hours in writing by submitting

a ‘Termination of Employment’ form. (see appendix)

12. Should I be temporarily unemployed through no fault of my own (laid-off), my teacher/coordinator will issue me

special instructions that I am to follow. I must attend school regularly and be re-employed within ten days.

13. During unemployment, I must actively seek employment ever day and document it using the ‘Job Search’ form.

(see appendix) I am required to make 3 contacts per day during the first week and 4 contacts per day during

the second week. The ‘Job Search’ form must be submitted each Monday, attached to the ‘Weekly Work

Journal’. Failure to do so will result in a grade of zero for all days of unemployment.

14. If I am terminated for just cause (fired), I will receive a failing grade for that grading period. My teacher will

conference with both me and my employer and then use his/her discretion in assigning my final grade.

Page 7: Career Preparation Handbook · Career Preparation Mission Statement Because Alvin ISD is committed to develop in each student the knowledge, skills and behaviors essential for lifelong

15. If I am terminated because of theft, attempted theft, fighting, or sexual harassment, I will receive a failing

employment grade for that grading period and will be immediately removed from the program.

important job related information to my teacher/coordinator, I will receive a failing grade. A parent

17. My employer CAN require me to work during school holidays. If my work schedule must be modified for any

reason, I will notify my employer and my teacher/coordinator in advance, and I will abide by their decision.

18. If I miss one or more class periods for any reason on a school day, or if I am unable to report to work, I (not

my parent) must call my teacher/coordinator by 10:00 a.m.

19. If I am absent from any class with out advance permission from my coordinator, I may not report to work that

day. If I choose to report to work on that day, I will receive a grade of zero on my ‘Weekly Work Journal’.

20. If an absence is approved by my teacher in advance due to a scheduled appointment, (doctor, dentist, court,

etc.) I must furnish official written documentation. I must attach it to the ‘Weekly Work Journal.

21. Should I become unable to work for an extended period of time due to personal reasons (accident, illness,

pregnancy, etc) I am still required to meet the minimum criteria set forth by TEA to earn credit for this

course. TEA requires that I work a minimum of 270 hours per semester.

22. I will inform my teacher/coordinator promptly of any problems that arise on my job or in class that affect me
