WELCOME TO YOUR PRACTICUM or CAREER PREPARATION COURSE

Practicums and Career Preparation are instructional programs that align work experiences with school-based

instruction to promote critical thinking, foster social and psychological development, and enhance career and

workplace-related knowledge.

Authentic work-based learning has four essential characteristics:

1. Integrated, well-planned instruction that results in progressive student learning.

2. A school-based instructional component taught by a qualified instructor.

3. An authentic work experience for the student which may be paid or unpaid:

a. Practicum course can be paid or unpaid experience

b. Career Preparation can be paid or unpaid experience

4. School-based instruction linked to the work experience.

One of the primary purposes of these courses are to help students understand state and federal laws

governing work experiences for students. However, local policies also affect students and their work

experiences. Adhering to the guidelines (federal, state, and local) ensures the student gains a well-rounded

learning experience.

Please discuss any classwork assignments or concerns with the instructor. The instructor will assist students

in the work-based learning experience.

TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY AND PRACTICUM/CAREER PREPARATION COURSES

Practicum and Career Preparation are “full year” courses that combines classroom study with paid career-

related work. Texas school districts are required by law to provide instruction based on educational

standards called the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Specific curriculum must be taught

throughout the entire school year in addition to the required work hours.

According to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) guidelines,

Career Preparation and Practicums require that the local education agency and the training sponsor

plan and supervise instruction cooperatively. Students receive instruction by participating in

occupationally specific classroom instruction and training experiences.

The Career Preparation course is for paid experience only. The training component must address all

the TEKS for the course and provide a student with a variety of learning experiences that will give the

student the broadest possible understanding of the business or industry.

Each Career Preparation and paid Practicum course must consist of student participation in career

preparation training appropriate to the instructional program plus participation in related CTE

classroom instruction. Classroom instruction must average one class period each day for every school

week and span the entire school year.

A student must be a minimum age of 16 and hold valid work documentation to enroll in any of the

Practicum or Career Preparation learning experiences.

(Student Attendance Accounting Handbook).

Students must work 10 hours per week, on average for each 3-week period, to earn credit for the course.

This is a TEA requirement. Any hours missed due to absences or extenuating circumstances must be made up

by the last day of school. Work hours will be verified weekly and averages will be calculated every three

weeks. Grade reductions will occur if the 30-work hour requirement is not met.
