Career Exploration Internship Program (CEIP)
The Career Exploration Internship Program is a school-business partnership initiative that provides high school students, age 14 and above, the opportunity to obtain non-paid, on-site, career exploration experiences. The focus of the program is meaningful, hands-on, career exploration rather than skill development. Students may earn ¼ to 1 unit of elective or CTE sequence credit.
This program must be registered with the New York State Education Department and must be coordinated by a CTE teacher who possesses an extension as a Coordinator of Work-Based Learning Programs.
Cooperative Career & Technical Education Work Experience Program (CO-OP)
The Cooperative Career & Technical Education Work Experience Program is a work-based learning program for students age 16 and above, consisting of 150 to 600 hours of paid, school-supervised work experience, supported by related in-school instruction in a specific career & technical discipline. Students may earn ½ to 2 units of credit towards a CTE sequence, depending upon the specific sequence. This program must be registered with the New York State Education Department and must be coordinated by a secondary teacher or school counselor who possesses an extension as Coordinator of Work-Based Learning Programs. CO-OP programs must be supervised in coordination with the CTE teacher in which the related CTE instruction is being offered.
General Education Work Experience Program (GEWEP)
The General Education Work Experience Program is a work-based learning option for non-CTE students, age 14 and above. The program consists of 150-600 hours of paid, supervised work experience, supported by the equivalent of at least one classroom period per week of related instruction. Students typically earn ½ to 2 units of high school credit, but may earn up to 3 units of high school credit so long as one unit is completed by the end of grade 10. This program must be registered with the New York State Education Department; it may be coordinated by any teacher or guidance counselor certified at the secondary level who possesses an extension as Coordinator of Work-Based Learning Programs.
