Work based learning is an opportunity for all RCS students who have taken several classes related to their program of study to use their skills and knowledge in a paid or unpaid on-the-job training site. Job placements are determined by the needs of the student, the work-based learning 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 10 hours a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. Students report to class bi–weekly and maintain timesheets that the employers sign to verify hours spent at work. Students take program related academic courses during the concurrent school year. 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.
