In addition to exploring a valuable trade or skill, students can access upper-management mentoring. It’s a great opportunity for students to explore career potential with the ability to walk away if it isn’t for them. 学生 who find the field to be a good fit get the hands-on experience that prepares them for the workforce. Colleges and trade schools are also looking at transcripts that demonstrate student commitments to their intended career.
Juniors and seniors can benefit most from the program, and a driver’s license is especially helpful for commuting to and from our high school campus. 学生 are required to complete a total of 120-150 hours, which includes field experience and a journal to document their work. This is comparable to required seat-time in a traditional on-campus class.

“Ten years ago, I was part of the original design of WINGS in my role as special 教育 chair. Originally created to meet the needs of students going into the trades, WINGS has expanded into a robust program for all students no matter what their future pathway. Leading WINGS fulfills a passion I have had for a decade as it marries my former business experience with my love of 教育.”
