Work Experience Class
Anna Moore is a senior that works at Rouman Cinema for two class periods a day as part of a Work Experience class. "It feels good to work with others and help," Anna says.
Ms. Shelley Lehman and Mrs. Tracy Hoffhein each teach a two-hour class called Work Experience. In addition to the Work Experience class, these teachers are also part of the "Let's Get to Work Grant." Both programs are intended to get students with disabilities out into the community working. Students are able to gain valuable work experience, pre-employability skills, and the opportunity to find out what they are interested in for graduation.
Businesses often end up hiring students as they find out how much they can offer and really do for their business. "It is a great way for us to show what we can do and it feels great to work," said student Jason Barlowski.
In addition to the Rouman Cinema, this semester students are also working at the Rhinelander District Library, Slumberland, Goodwill, the Oneida County Humane Society, Mel's Trading Post (in the "Changing Gears Program") and at the Days Inn. Jenna Laska loves working at the library helping to arrange books. Each semester students explore a vocation they are interested in and the teachers try to work with the community in finding the right fit. Having a strong relationship with the community is beneficial to both our community and the school. It has been a positive relationship for all of us.
If you are interested in providing a work experience, tour, job shadow or to support the Rhinelander High School work experience program and "Let's Get to Work Grant," contact Shelley Lehman at Rhinelander High School at (715) 365-9500, extension 8135.
