I found a job, now what?
If you’re under 18, once you have interviewed and been offered a job, you’ll need a work permit. Work permits are usually processed by your school, unless it’s winter, spring, or summer break, at which time the College and Career Readiness office can process your work permit for you. Download the Work Permit Procedures and Application packet to get started. There are grade and attendance requirements for work permits, so make sure you have good attendance and keep your GPA up.
Work permits are only valid until the start of a new school year. You will need a new permit each year. For more information about work permits, visit the CDE Frequently Asked Questions site.
Work Experience Education
If you are enrolled in a Work Experience Education course, your job is part of your class and you earn course credit. Work Experience Education combines paid employment with classroom instruction. Students attend their job placement during the week as well as a scheduled class session once a week. Topics for the course include how to get a job, keep a job, and leave a job. Other topics are economic awareness and career awareness. As part of the course, students will develop a portfolio which shows the abilities, knowledge, and skills achieved.
