  • WHAT IS WORK EXPERIENCE?

    Work Experience is an academic class associated with a student's internship/employment/volunteer position which can be directly related to an occupational goal or for students to develop workforce competencies through General Work Experience. This is a great opportunity for our students to be supported by SDCCD faculty while gaining real-world experience and for our employer Site Supervisors to nurture training of in-demand skills to develop qualified candidates for your industry. Work Experience college credit is earned based on 75 hours of paid work or 60 hours of unpaid internship/volunteer work per unit the student is enrolled.

    WORKPLACE SITE SUPERVISOR ROLE & COMMITMENT:

    • BEGINNING OF TERM: Collaborate with student and Work Experience instructor at an in-person visit to your company to develop work objectives, projects, or skills for the student to achieve throughout semester.

    • DURING TERM: Oversee daily tasks and responsibilities of the student. Check in to answer questions and ensure progress of objectives, projects, and skills.

    • END OF TERM: Evaluate the student’s work performance, growth of skills, completion of projects, and approve Work Experience hours. Provide written and verbal feedback on the student’s performance.

    COVID-19 ADJUSTMENTS: In response to the current pandemic and impacted closures, both in-person or remote work will be accepted for Work Experience. In addition, the WE faculty orientation and site visits, which typically occur in-person, may take place virtually, most likely via Zoom. For more detailed information, please visit the SDCCD Work Experience website. Students completing in-person placements are highly encouraged to follow all health and safety protocols outlined by the CDC, Public Health Officials, and employment site.
