On-the-Job Training

This unique program allows students the opportunity to make the workplace their classroom.  Students are allowed to leave school to go to their job and earn money while learning people skills, technical knowledge and countless other workplace competencies which can’t be taught in the classroom.  Students also attend class one afternoon per week at Wright Technical Center. Students are required to work at least 10 hours/week and bring their paystubs to class.
