Career Development is a very special part of our school. We are preparing our students for life’s biggest challenges. Our students serve as mentors, interns, and co-workers in the business world. These students receive hands on experience in a variety of careers. Our goal is to give each student the opportunity to experience a different career choice each year. As part of our Mission Statement our students will develop essential career skills while giving them extensive experiences in service to their community. In this way, the PREP Charter High School will also serve to strengthen the Philadelphia Community by deepening the commitment between the community and its young people.

Career Development Procedures:

1. Students are expected to respect each other. No running or playing will be tolerated.

2. On the day of Career Development, formal uniforms must be worn with a white shirt that has the name Prep Charter High School embroidered across the front. The identification badge is to be worn on the front of the shirt or around the neck at all times. LADIES ARE TO WEAR SLACKS TO Career Development; SKIRTS ARE NOT PERMITTED. No outerwear is to be worn while working inside the Career Development Site. If there is a need, a Prep Charter navy blue sweater or hoody is acceptable. (Only clean white, black, sneakers or dark shoes are to be worn to career development.)

3. Uniforms must be presentable; students are a reflection of Prep Charter High.

4. Arrival time is between 8:30am-8:45am; at that time, attendance will be taken. Prompt arrival is imperative. Sites depend on students’ help. Late arrival is an inconvenience and disruptive.

5. A journal entry is due for each day of career development. There are no exceptions; (the journal is the homework assignment)
- A journal entry will consist of not less than six paragraphs. A paragraph must consist of a minimum of five sentences. The journal entry is due every other week following career development. The journal is handed in to the leader at the time the evaluation record is handed out. Entries should reflect feelings, interactions (positive & negative), or anything students would like to record and share that could be beneficial in career development.

- Journals are to be type and double space. Name, Section, and date of the community service being recorded must be typed across the top of the page. Technology teachers have agreed to allow every student 15 minutes at the end of technology class period to type the journal. This courtesy will be offered the day before students are to serve their career development. At the allotted time students will then be able to type developed handwritten journal on the computer.

- The journal is very important to determine if the assigned site is beneficial for our students. It will be very important part of the grade.

6. There will be a project due for Career Development. The due dates for the project will be announced later.

7. Career Development is an accredited major course and the student’s best is expected.

8. The Career Development Leader will collect evaluation records completed by the site supervisor.

9. The grades will be determined by three criteria. One-third is the journal; one-third is the site’s evaluation, and the final one-third is the Career Development Leader’s evaluation.
