<br />V. WORK BASED LEARNING
<br />A. All youth enrolled in the program will be offered the chance to participate in WEX (Work
<br />Experience). Youth will be placed at worksites for up to 450 hours of paid work experience.
<br />Work experience places may be in the private, for profit sector, non-profit sector or the public
<br />sector and are designed to enable youth to gain exposure to the working world and its
<br />requirements. Participants will also be offered the opportunity to "shadow' a professional who
<br />is in a career field of their interest. This opportunity is optional, and not required. Participants
<br />will with discuss with their case manager what career fields or occupations interest them at
<br />their time of intake. This information will be kept on file. After participants complete their job -
<br />readiness workshops they will meet with their case managers again to review their career
<br />interests. OCAPICA has immediate access for job shadowing careers in the fields of mental
<br />health, education, health, and community organizing. If participants are interested in one of
<br />these fields the case manager will coordinate with appropriate OCAPICA staff to take the
<br />participant on for one full business day. If participants are interested in other fields, they will
<br />work with the case manager and job developer placement specialist to contact OCAPICA's
<br />partners or other available community resources to successfully identify and coordinate a job
<br />shadowing opportunity for the youth.
