Work Experience

SD 85 WORK EXPERIENCE

North Island Secondary School is offering for students in Grades 11 & 12 known as Work Experience 12 (WEX 12).

Students are required to complete a minimum of 120 hours of paid or non-paid work over the school year. This course can be an excellent option for students wishing to earn credits outside of the school setting.

This semester we have students working with local businesses, and community organizations. If you have any questions or are interested in hiring a work experience student please feel free to contact Mr. Jay Dixon jdixon@sd85.bc.ca

Connections – Workplace Awareness Activities

CONNECTIONS

We are pleased to announce that the Connections Program is once again being offered this year at North Island Secondary School. This program provides an opportunity for high school students to take part in “Workplace Awareness Activities” throughout the North Island. Together with the support of local business and organizations we strive to work with the communities on the North Island to introduce youth to the opportunities that surround them.

If you are an employer, business owner, or an organization who is interested in having students participate in a guided tour of your worksite, please contact Mr. Jay Dixon at jdixon@sd85.bc.ca. This could include a small group visit, larger group, or a personalized “hands on” experience. We will arrange all transportation to and from the worksite and supervision throughout.

We would like to thank the following for recently welcoming our students into their place of business;

Windsor Plywood

North Island Gazette

Quatsie Hatchery & Interpretive Centre

Visions Learning Centre

Port McNeill Volunteer Fire Department

It is the participation of these businesses that makes the Connections Program a success.
