Capstone is an opportunity for business students who have taken a number of business classes to use their skills and knowledge in a PAID or UNPAID on-the-job training sire. Job placements are determined by the needs of the student, the Capstone coordinators, business contacts, and the jobs the students have had in the past. Students are released one or two class periods each day to allow for 48 hours total of combined school and work. Students work a minimum of 15 hours a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. Students report to class bi-weekly and maintain timesheets that the employers sign to verify hours spent as work. Students take a related concurrent business course during the semester of Capstone. Students are required to have the coordinating teacher visit the job site a minimum of two times a semester, and the employers evaluate students according to job duties and skills listed on the individual training plan.
